Boat Meets Bridge: A Tale of Two Titans
So, let’s talk about the time a boat decided to play bumper cars with a bridge in Baltimore. Yeah, you read that right. A boat. And a bridge. It’s like something out of a really bad nautical comedy, but with significantly less laughter and more, you know, disaster.

The Great Bridge Bashing
Now, you might be wondering, "How on earth does a boat hit a bridge?" Well, dear reader, it's a question that has puzzled maritime experts and armchair captains alike. Was it a case of mistaken identity? Did the boat think the bridge was a particularly large whale? Or perhaps the bridge was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
The truth, as it often does, lies somewhere in between. It seems the boat, in a moment of maritime madness, decided to take a shortcut. A shortcut that involved ignoring all the well-established nautical rules about bridge clearance. And let's just say, it didn't go well for the bridge.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
The Aftermath: A Bridge Too Far
The aftermath was, to put it mildly, a bit of a mess. Cars plunged into the water, traffic was chaos, and the city of Baltimore was left scratching its head. The boat, meanwhile, probably felt a bit sheepish, but let's face it, boats don't blush.
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
It was a classic case of "oops, my bad." Or, as one might say in nautical terms, "Shiver me timbers!"
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.

The important question here isn't how the boat hit the bridge, but how on earth did no one see it coming? Was everyone too busy staring at their phones? Were the seagulls on strike? Did the bridge have a particularly good hiding spot? These are the questions that keep us up at night.
Moving Forward: Bridge and Prejudice
The incident has sparked a much-needed conversation about bridge safety. Should we be building bridges with more airbags? Should boats be required to take a boating safety test before being allowed near bridges? And most importantly, should we start blaming everything on the mysterious force known as "human error"?
Only time will tell. Until then, let’s all take a moment to appreciate the incredible engineering feat that is a bridge. And maybe, just maybe, give boats a wide berth.
How To... Avoid a Boat-Bridge Collision
- How to choose a boat captain: Don't hire someone who thinks a bridge is a personal challenge.
- How to navigate safely: Pay attention to those clearance signs. They're there for a reason.
- How to build a bridge: Consider adding a moat or a protective force field. Just saying.
- How to become a maritime lawyer: If you're involved in a boat-bridge incident, you might need one.
- How to avoid becoming a fish: Stay off the bridge when boats are nearby.
