A Bulgarian cruise ship carrying over 140 passengers crashed into a concrete wall along the River Danube in Austria. The incident left eleven people injured, with six receiving minor injuries. The ship experienced a temporary loss of steering, attributed to a failure of its electronics, but managed to continue its journey to Linz. This event comes shortly after a container ship collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, leading to six fatalities. The Danube has seen tragic incidents in the past, such as a collision in 2023 that resulted in 25 deaths.
