Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn suggested that a bridge collapse in Baltimore was connected to a terrorist attack in Russia.

Flynn joined conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his Tuesday broadcast to talk about the tragedy that was caused by a ship hitting the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

"I've read the reports that, statistically, we're seeing about triple the number of these that we normally see," Jones began. "So obviously, that means some of this is just normal accidents, but a lot of it is some type of sabotage."

"You're saying this appears to be a Black Swan event," he told Flynn.

"So everything that I see here and, you know, I mean, the jury is going to be out for a while," Flynn responded. "This is not, you know, I was asked earlier today, Alex, can we take the idea that this was a terrorist attack off the table? And absolutely, we cannot do that."

The former national security adviser repeated Russian government talking points while connecting the bridge collapse to a terrorist attack in Moscow.

"The other thing that I'll bring into this, I'll bring into this because these are events that are happening too often now, this attack in Russia, the Russians are now saying, Russians are now coming out and saying that the U.K. and the U.S. were behind the attack in Moscow," Flynn said. "And then all of a sudden, we have this event here now."

"I'm not going to call it an accident just yet," he added. "We've all seen the videos where the lights went out on the ship. We've all seen the black smoke coming out of the top of it."

"We cannot take off the table any, anything right now."
