Ship can't steer through the hole in a bridge, hits the pillar instead. Captain was not drunk. He was looking at porn.

Re: Disasters disasters! Bring them here. Not yours, the news.
It's even worse. Local pilot did not know the waters.
CNN
The container ship Dali, which had just left the Port of Baltimore and was en route to Colombo, Sri Lanka, was not being piloted by its own crew, but by local pilots who are used specifically to avoid accidents like the one that occurred early Tuesday morning.
"Pilots move ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore," said Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld at a news conference Tuesday.
The pilots get on board just outside of local channels, and take the ships into ports. Outbound ships like this one take the ships from the ports out to open water.

I can't track down a source other than threads, but engines failed. The ship would then drift off course.

The crew notified officials that they had lost control, the report said.

Biden is at fault! Trillions did not fix every single rusty bridge!

If it ain't broke don't fix it. How often does fashion and style go round chasing its own tale. Wasting money and risking lives to keep ahead of nowhere, sure fix what's actually broken. But don't fix what isn't.

Re: Disasters disasters! Bring them here. Not yours, the news.
Biden's getting criticised on my local newspaper forum for wanting to use federal money to deal with the bridge collapse. When I explained the potential economic impact of disruption of imports through that port, a guy told me "the bridge is not the port and obviously not the only way to get to the port."
I suppose a 300 meter cargo container ship could hitchhike.

Just get rid of the bridge. Build a direct route to Colorado from the port. The Maryland people can just stay home. Except the ones working at the port.
