My apologies for the Twitter link. Appears to have happened around 1:30 EDT, judging from the timestamp in the video. Seems unsurprising that Amerikkkan infrastructure is in this dire of a state (at the cost of innocent people's lives, as usual), but I'd still love to know what the hell happened here. Hopefully the early hour meant that more people weren't harmed.

    There should be tugs that could at least push it off of a direct collision course

        Well we have the ships and have taught them multiple slurs but we can't seem to get that other part working

      Unless you invent a self driving tug, that's not really feasible

          Yeah, but I thought you were suggesting having tugs on standby 24/7 to guard every bridge from potential runaway cargo ships

            Not exactly, I'm saying I think it's pretty routine to have a tug in the area at all times in case of an emergency.
