Pretty awful. My wife was already watching the news when I woke up this morning.
Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well

Not sure how many cars went in, but it was probably very fortunate that this happened in the middle of the night and not during the day, say rush hour.

Maybe if it was the middle of the day the freaking idiot behind the steering wheel might have seen the massive brick and steel structure in front of him.

From what I've read it may have been a mechanical problem.  Lost propulsion.

Personally, I suspect it was an elderly asian lady driving it.

Reuters:

The ship "lost propulsion" as it was leaving port, and crew on board notified Maryland officials they had lost control of the vessel, ABC News reported, citing an unclassified U.S. intelligence report.

I couldn't watch the video again, but I read that on video it looks like power visibly went out twice on the ship before it collided. Terrible.

Or maybe a designated harbor pilot lost juice ⚡️⚡️
fwiw, this same ship had an ‘infrastructure accident’ in Antwerp back in 2016.

Looks like loss of power and propulsion.  Or Boeing’s now in the shipbuilding business.

Looks like the ship managed to put out a mayday before the collision. That allowed police to stop traffic onto the bridge. Sadly, it looks like there were still 6 workers on the bridge at the time of the collapse. Just terrible.
