In hydra77's thread about the cargo ship crashing into the bridge, two comments in particular stand out. First, automatronic’s experience gives a look at the various issues of of maintaining and running a ship. Then WaylandSmith notes the physics involved that caused the collapse. Fascinating and enlightening information!
