The Day the Bridge Went Bye-Bye: A Cargo Ship's Oops Moment in Baltimore
Ah, Baltimore. City of crabs, Edgar Allan Poe, and now, the site of a legendary bridge incident. Buckle up, folks, because this is a story that involves a runaway cargo ship, a very unhappy bridge, and a whole lot of "oh no, not again!"
The Ship in Question: From Humble Freighter to Bridge Wrecker
The culprit in this maritime mishap? None other than the MV Dali, a cargo ship so large it could hold enough sneakers to clothe a small continent. One minute it's leaving port all whistle and blow, the next minute it's playing demolition derby with a major bridge.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.

But Why, Dali, Why?
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
The cause of this sticky situation is still under investigation, but rumors abound like pigeons on a french fry. Here's the lowdown on the leading theories:
 |
- Power Struggle: The Dali crew claims they lost power, leaving the ship adrift like a drunken pirate ship at a sock hop.
- A Crab Rave Gone Wrong: Some locals swear they saw a rogue wave caused by an overenthusiastic crab rave, but scientists are skeptical (and frankly, a little grossed out).
- Ghost of Poe Strikes Back: More outlandish theories point to the vengeful spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, upset about the lack of decent ravens in Baltimore.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
The Aftermath: A Bridge Too Far
The impact wasn't exactly a fender bender. The Dali managed to total the bridge, sending it tumbling into the water like a rejected Lego project. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries on land, but sadly, some construction workers on the bridge are presumed lost at sea. R.I.P., bridge bros.
