The Ever Forward just managed to make that turn in the Chesapeake Bay

The Ever Forward cargo ship that spent a month aground in the Chesapeake Bay just made that turn it missed a month ago. It was reloaded and now making 13 knots just south of the turn. The next obstacle is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

known hazard to navigation? He could probably get Evergreen cheaper than he can
get Twitter.

A link to a video of a Tesla being summoned remotely by its owner, and striking a parked private plane.

DO YOU THINK THAT TESLA SOFTWARE WILL BE PROGRAMMED TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH BRIDGES?

Wait for the next OTA update.

And get the hell off any and all bridges.

A sister ship to the one that blocked the Panama Canal. This one caused traffic in the channel to Baltimore to be reduced to one way traffic and stopped during some of the salvage efforts. It took a month to refloat and cost a lot. My post is recognizing the unwinding of a situation that some found significant.
