Bridge Collapse in Baltimore

[Meridian]

Was the bridge made of paper?

Some people have no idea of engineering

Woman captain ?

The Captain of such a ship is never in control of such a vessel in a port area like that.

Reports are saying that there were 2 pilots on board the ship, the responsibility lies with the pilots as they are in command.

Would not like to be the Captain of that ship--wonder do they have to use pilots in Baltimore?

Similar to Cork Port.

My buddy is a pilot below. They bring all these ships out.

Ship 'lost propulsion' and warned of crash - report​

The Dali container ship "lost propulsion" as it left the port and the crew on board had warned Maryland officials of a possible crash, according to ABC News, which cites an unclassified US intelligence report.
"The vessel notified MD Department of Transportation (MDOT) that they had lost control of the vessel and a collision with the bridge was possible," ABC quoted the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency as saying.
"The vessel struck the bridge causing a complete collapse."

And obviously no tugs near by to intervene

Almost all anyway and I guess all the freight. I've heard that the Brittany Ferries captains have done the Cork pilot 'exam' so don't use pilots in Cork.
