I've only ever heard of two ships hitting bridges; both recently, both in the US, both lost power and drifted into the bridge.

At least this bridge fall like a house of cards, I guess because the masts broke first.

It feels like after a large accident, the media is more likely to report similar accidents, even if they're smaller and not normally notable. After the east Palestine, OH derailment in 2023 it felt like I saw articles about a half dozen other rail accidents.
