The possibility of a repeat of the disaster of Baltimore, New York Bay
A container ship traveling in the New York Bay almost collided with the Verrazano-Nerooz bridge due to a technical fault. |
A repeat of the Baltimore disaster was about to happen in New York Bay. A French container ship flying the flag of Malta made a clumsy move and almost ran into the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York Bay.
Verrazano-Nerooz is the largest suspension bridge in the United States, connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island. The accident occurred after the engine of the container ship suddenly stopped and became impossible to control. However, the ship’s crew miraculously managed to avoid hitting the bridge. Finally, three tugboats moved the ship to the port of New York.
In the United States, there are now many theories about what happened in Baltimore, where the ship also suffered engine failure and loss of control.
Recently, a small cargo ship hit a bridge in Oklahoma, USA, which did not cause extensive damage.
Not long ago, the freighter Dolly, which was sailing under the flag of Singapore from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, collided with the Francis Scott Key Road Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, after which the bridge collapsed. The Secretary of Transportation of the United States announced the death toll of this accident as six dead and one injured.
