There was a version of this going around (unattributed, pls LMK) that had the wrong measurements and scale, but the image was so impactful I made my own corrected version. I think this really drives home the sheer massive, unstoppable scale of the freighter that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore. 🖖

The Dali freighter that collided with the Key Bridge in Baltimore, piled high with shipping containers and labeled 984 feet (300 meters). Above the freighter flies the original Starship Enterprise from Star Trek, showing the scale between the two. The starship is labeled 947 feet (288 meters) and looks almost small and delicate by comparison to the massive freighter.

I'm also here to add, that I'm really admiring your alt-text game here! Good job, great description.

Which one is this? It's not the Kelvinverse Enterprise, and it doesn't look like the SNW one. No visible deflector dish.

It was a mislabeled photo someone recycled from when Ever Grande was stuck in the Suez. iirc the lengths were correct, but it was the wrong ship.

The freighter had a crew of 21. The Enterprise, 430.

I've tried to fight out the estimated tonnage of that ship + cargo and speed, but i have not had much luck. I've seen some people still thinking the bridge was defective.
