fyi: if you see a news brief of something else that refers to the mv Dali striking the FSK Bridge as an "allision" that is actually the correct term.

At sea, a collision is when two moving objects strike each other, and an allision is when a moving object strikes an immovable object, like a bridge or a dock.

And that is the end of your mini info dump for the day. ;)

@kismatt I don't know if I'd call that bridge an immovable object. The allison disproved that idea. It definitely moved.

@Pitizenlyn yeah, but it wasn't SUPPOSED to move. I don't know if 'falling into the water' counts....

Alas.

@kismatt so when Elvis Costello sang β€œOh, Alison, my aim is true.” he was being threatening? Huh.

@kismatt Well that's just properly fucking *interesting*! I never knew that. Thanks.
