Massive Ship Loses Control Near Iconic Bridge – Riveting Footage Goes Viral! | Pizza Time

It has probably happened in the past to a number of vessels that went unnoticed until the ship that hit the Key Bridge got everyone's attention.

I wonder if there is a connection of some type between the two occurrences...in this era of anti-law behavior... Just saying.

Wasn't there some suspicion about the possibility of the incident being intentional? Seemed that was the message between the lines when the instances of the same folks causing the same problem in the past were mentioned in news reports! The article diplomatically wanders into the same territory.
I learned about how important the Patapsco River outlet is as a shipping lane to our economy, from the news reports. Some of my earliest immigrant ancestors were early settlers in that area. What I did know is that Chesapeake Bay and all its inlets, at least those along the Patapsco, were were frequented by privateers with government commissions, some turned to business for themselves pirates for whom the inlets were havens - in the early days. There was a notorious pink house in the region of Patapsco Sound that seemed to be a rendezvous point for pirates and privateers. Lots of interesting maritime history in that neck of the words!
