3/3, actually.
In Oklahoma a bridge on the Arkansas River was hit by a barge about a week ago.
That one doesn't count.
Anyone who's lived along the Mississippi long enough knows barges get lose all the fuck time.
A month before Baltimore, a bunch of barges hit a bridge on the Ohio and nobody batted an eye. And that same week on the Mississippi three broke free and ran into the shallows by lock & dam 25. Crazy barge shit just happens. Across all the navigable US rivers there's probably one barge incident a week.
But I'm willing to grant you 2/2, because the NYC one fits the M.O. of the Baltimore incident.
barges are made of the boat equivalent of toilet paper.
