The massive container ship that smashed into a high-traffic bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, this morning has previously collided with infrastructure while docking, according to reports.

Container ship DALI collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning, collapsing a portion of the bridge and resulting in what authorities suspect is a mass casualty event.

According to previous reports, this is not the first time DALI has struck city infrastructure while transporting goods — a similar but far less serious incident was reported in 2016, according to contemporaneous reports.

DALI collided with a stone wall at a dock in Antwerp, Belgium, in the afternoon of July 11, 2016, according to a Maritime News report.

The container ship suffered damage and was docked for repairs, but no one was injured in the collision, according to The New York Times.

The Tuesday incident was far more deadly, according to officials coordinating disaster response.

Video film shows young lady wriggling to keep away from kiss from Biden President Biden seemed to snack at the shoulder of a surprised young lady during his takeoff from Helsinki on Thursday. A video of the occurrence, which occurred as the president welcomed consulate staff their relatives before he boarded Flying corps One at Helsinki-Vantaan Worldwide Air terminal, shows Biden inclining toward a little kid and putting his mouth on her shoulder as he snacked daintily. The young lady — who seemed terrified during the experience — later turned her head when Biden, who will turn 81 in November, attempted to give her a peck on the head. Film from the episode immediately got out and about via virtual entertainment, where a few clients shot the president for his unconventional lead.

Adnyamathanha country can be found at the northern end of the Flinders Ranges in Australia. It was here that one of the country’s most major archaeological find was made...purely by accident. Clifford Coulthard and another researcher, Giles, ventured deep into Australia to study ancient aboriginals, but they weren’t having any luck. Then, Clifford wandered away from the group to answer “nature’s call” and this is when he found something amazing completely by accident... Looking for a private area where he could relieve himself, Clifford walked up a narrow path where he found a spring surrounded by spectacular rock markings. Curious, he followed the trail of artwork—and what he found was a 50,000-year-old archaeological wonder. It was an aboriginal rock shelter! Clifford noticed that the walls of the shelter were black from smoke—a sign that humans had, indeed, made this their home. Excited, he rushed back and alerted Giles. Once Giles saw the site, he agreed that it wa
