"In March 2024, the ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, causing a catastrophic structural failure of the bridge."
In a situation like this, please figure out that the most important thing is not the boat, it is not the bridge but the people that lost their live. Folks don't give a barn door about machines or structures. It's the human lives that were lost that is the most important.

Since my edit was reverted, I guess it's better to start a discussion here rather than an edit war there. In the context of maritime law, "allision" is the collision between a moving vessel and a stationary object such as a bridge. However, should Wikipedia use words that may be more familiar for casual readers ("collision", "collided") instead of the more obscure term ("allision", "allided")? Or should we use the latter and then add a footnote explaining it (or somehow the other way around)? Better to agree something here rather than engage in a tug of war sooner or later...

Do not introduce new and specialized words simply to teach them to the reader when more common alternatives will do.The article should use more common terms based on reliable sources: struck, collided, etc. Daniel Quinlan ( talk) 19:40, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
