On September 12, 2001, the day after the 9/11 attacks, NATO met in an emergency session. For the first and only time in its history, NATO invoked Article 5. All 18 of the United States's allies stated they would support America's response to the attacks.

It's pretty mind-blowing seeing people assume that article 5 triggers as if it's an automated command in a robot world.
In reality, article 5 triggers if NATO countries collectively decide whether they want to trigger it. If they do not, there could be a hundred of accidentally or intentionally damaged ships and nothing would happen.
