"Runaway Cargo Ship Forces Temporary Closure of Charleston's Ravenel Bridge"

A large cargo ship, MSC Michigan 7, temporarily lost propulsion and forced the closure of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge in Charleston, South Carolina. The US Coast Guard and local authorities managed to avert disaster by clearing the bridge and surrounding areas. The ship eventually regained control and anchored offshore, causing minor injuries and damage along its route. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about aging infrastructure and the increasing size of cargo vessels.
