The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said that a single loose wire on the 984-foot-long container ship MV Dali caused an electrical blackout that led to the 10,000 TEU ship veering and contacting the nearby Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, which then collapsed, killing six highway workers.
On March 26, 2024, at about 0129 local time, the 984-foot-long Singapore-flagged container ship MV Dali was transiting out of Baltimore Harbor when it experienced losses of electrical power, propulsion, and steering..

A substantial portion of the bridge subsequently collapsed into the river, and portions of the pier, deck, and truss spans collapsed onto the vessel’s bow and forward-most container bays.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia had successfully tested a nuclear-powered drone submarine, claimed to be a “superweapon.” The drone, known as Poseidon, is capable of delivering a thermonuclear cobalt bomb to create a 500-meter tsunami that could contaminate a large section of coastline, making the area unlivable for up to a century. 
During a meeting of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London, the Trump administration issued a torrent of threats of tariffs and other sanctions to block a landmark deal to cut global shipping emissions. The IMO plan was intended to achieve net-zero shipping emissions by 2050.

An updated repost. There is a line from a Paul Simon song, “These are the days of miracle and wonder.” One might not think to apply that lyric to the events of 9/11, 24 years ago today. Yet for at least part of that strange and horrible day, the lyrics fit.
