It's not uncommon to have stuff crap out. It just generally happens either moored up or in open seas, because that's where those ships spend their lives.

What happened to this shite is every single maritime shipping associated person's worst nightmare. Losing power or steering approaching a bridge is as bad as it can get. Headed down river makes it sooooo much worse. You have to have speed through the water to steer.

Two Of The Fastest U.S. Sealift Ships Trapped By Baltimore Bridge Collapse



Two of the most capable military cargo ships in U.S. inventory are among the vessels now stuck in Baltimore following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge yesterday. The two members of the Algol class, which are also some of the fastest cargo vessels of their general size anywhere in the world, and two other reserve sealift ships were in port in Baltimore when the incident occurred.
