[QUOTE=afc wimbledon;9042490]to be clear boats hit bridges all the time, even big boats, the surprise here is that the bridge fell down from something it aught to be able to survive[
There’s almost no bridge design that could withstand having a key support completely wiped out, and there’s not pier support that could be designed to withstand a cargo ship dead on striking it. It’s why there’s supposed to be so many other preventative measures in place,
