A massive cargo ship slammed with Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday, March 26. As a result, the gigantic, 1.6-mile structure collapsed into the river. A Coast Guard spokesman has stated that six people are likely dead.
As search activities continue, X users have pointed out the incident’s striking similarities to a 2023 Netflix film called Leave the World Behind, in which a cyberattack leads a giant container ship to lose power and crash.
A user on X remarked, “With the horrific collapse of the #KeyBridge in #Baltimore earlier, I couldn’t help but be reminded of this scene from the film “”Leave The World Behind”, produced by the Obamas. A massive oil tanker runs ashore after a cyberattack shuts down navigation systems. Anyone else?”
Another wrote, “For those of you that don’t know…. The Francis Scott Key bridge is the same bridge event that took place in the Netflix movie “Leave the World Behind”. The production company is owned by the Obamas.”
“Oh my God,” exclaimed a user while sharing a conspiracy theory. “This can’t be coincidence. The Ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was headed to Sri Lanka. The flag of Sri Lanka is a Lion. The Ship in the opening scene of Barrack Obama’s ‘Leave the World Behind’ is named WHITE LION.”
‘Leave the World Behind’ is produced by the Obamas under their Higher Ground Productions banner
Sam Esmail wrote and directed the American apocalyptic psychological thriller film. It was executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama under their Higher Ground Productions banner.
A summary of Leave the World Behind, written by Nick Riganas and uploaded on IMDb, says, “Bearing grim news of an unknown enemy and the shocking certainty that the city succumbs to chaos, a sharp-dressed stranger and his young companion disrupt Amanda and Clay’s much-needed family vacation. But the information the unwanted couple brings is inconceivable.
Now, a complex, multilevel mystery unfolds before everyone’s eyes, whether they like it or not. After all, the unsuspecting tourists have already encountered mysterious, logic-defying incidents during their brief stay.”
The collapse of the Baltimore bridge claimed the lives of people from Guatemala and Mexico. When the tragedy occurred, the six of them were working as construction workers, patching potholes in the bridge’s surface.
On Wednesday, March 27, search and recovery divers plan to reenter the waters in search of the six workers who are now thought to have died. Authorities from the US Coast Guard and Maryland state police said that due to hazardous currents in the channel and low visibility, search operations could not be carried out overnight.
