Do we have cops now on the boat? I can’t help it but immediately my mind goes to a 9/11 scenario. I assume contact with the ship was immediately established and this thought can be dismissed?
Under the COLREGS, I believe the bridge had the right of way.
Good to see Captain Hazelwood found work. As an instructor at the New York Maritime Academy. Might that have been one of his students, carrying on a proud tradition?
Gravity indeed took hold.
climate change?
The first question that must be asked now is the role DEI may have played in these instances.

I remember watching the bridge being built from my classroom in high school. Several miles away, but clearly visible. I used to drive over the bridge sometimes just for the pleasure of it. The view was spectacular.
This is going to cause major disruptions for the city for years to come. I now live on the other side of the city, and my daily routine will be significantly affected as even more traffic is routed onto the already overcrowded west side of the beltway, which has a major construction project going on right now
And then there’s the planned replacement of the triple bridges where I-70 comes into the beltway. That project will likely have to be put on hold until the new FSK bridge is open.
Given the woke nature of the state, I’m sure there will be plenty of delays, but one thing Maryland does right is road construction. Both the quality of our roads as well as the process of building and repairing them. Except for Baltimore City. In the city they have no idea what they’re doing.
Could this be a case of iDEIocracy?
Maybe they should send that ship to attack the Kerch bridge in Crimea …
BRIDGE! DEAD AHEAD!
Looked intentional.
Practice run for a near future 9/11?

Today’s episode of what’s going on with shipping should be interesting.
Was there a “luckiest man in Baltimore”?
I think you mean a “container ship”
On Good Morning America they showed how the container ship turned off its lights just before ramming the bridge support.
Houthi rebels or Somali pirates?
From what I heard/read, the ship totally lost power and drifted into the bridge.
Gonna be a lot of folks late for work this morning
Is this supposed to be a joke or is it just abysmal writing? Or maybe ChatGPT?
The bridge came out of nowhere, struck the ship and vanished in the fog!
