@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas At this one was courteous enough to not block global shipping. Good that they were so committed to not paying attention to where they were going that they completely left the channel before it came to a stop.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas They'll have to unload so much of the cargo to get it to float again. Good thing that it's close to Baltimore, they'll only need a few barges to move the containers back to shore before putting them back onto another ship.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas According to El Wiki, Evergreen Marine has over 170 ships. With that many, you'd think they'd be able to afford to give their crews some basic training in how to avoid the scenery.

@іди-на-хуй-Влад-formerly-known-as-Distraxi I think sand would be an improvement, the Chesapeake bay is clay/mud

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas OK, so Even Given: hits sand. Ever Forward: hits mud. Next up, Ever ??? hits rock? Or is ice next in the progression? And how many more tries will it take them before they level up to "hits nuclear wessel"?

@іди-на-хуй-Влад-formerly-known-as-Distraxi Well, that'd be one way to speed-dredge the canal.

@Mark-Tucker Pretty quick way to unload the ship, too.

Looking at U.S. Navy vessels over recent years and hitting things.
I'm guessing it'll be a U.S. Navy vessel and they'll claim, 'knock for knock' with equal blame.

@svend Technically, hitting things is what navies are supposed to do. Maybe not quite the way the USN's taken to interpreting it, I'll grant you...

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas Fun Chesapeake fact: The bay formed as a result of a massive impact at what would become its mouth around 35 million years ago forming a huge crater:

The resulting depression encouraged rivers to flow towards it, eventually resulting in the erosion that formed the bay.
