Ship Topples Crane in Port of Baltimore
From Times Wire Reports
A cargo ship crashed into a dock in the Port of Baltimore, knocking over a 162-foot-high crane and forcing state officials to scramble in case of a fuel spill.
The Maryland Port Administration crane, which will cost from $6 million to $8 million to replace, was left a heap of twisted metal, said Jack Cahalan of the state Department of Transportation.
The 750-ton crane held about 450 gallons of diesel fuel. Officials said there was no evidence of any fuel spilling into the water.
