From above you can see how poorly the bridge is protected from collisions. I wonder what would happen if a ship would hit the high voltage power lines.
In hindsight it's poorly protected, but 47 years and thousands of ships passing safely brings complacency. Also, when the bridge was built, the channel was only 30 feet, so the ships were much smaller then. According to what I've read, while the electrical lines are protected, a 110,000 ton ship would severely damage them.
Why did the ship come closer to the bridge and lose power to turn towards the beam post. Does it have to go sideways once the ship loses power and 🤔🤫🫣👈👉
Once it loses power, it is driven by currents, wind, and anything else - both in direction and orientation. It didn't deliberately "turn" at all.
because you like conspiracy
You're asking this now when it's been in the news since March 26?
WOW!! Gettn it done and,safely get the rest done,get 3 tug boats to help get the boat out,is the lean getting worse!!!!!
I think the USACE knows what to do.
Shows ship could have went through there completely sideways
Wow. What a helpful and perfectly executed comment. Bravo to you good sir.
But it couldn't. The channel is 700 feet wide, the Dali is 984 feet long, so sideways wouldn't work.
@@1972Ray But somebody on the internet said it would, so it will.
Seems like this bridge was cheaply made from start to finish ? I'm surprised it lasted this long !
You'd be wrong on that.
@@1972Ray Don't think so, I agree that the design is very poorly without any protection against collisions. Now they have to spent a lott more to reconstruct the bridge.
Not so. You're not appreciating the scale of the thing. Look at some of the closeups, such as where it's resting on the bow of the ship, and the chunks of it being taken away.
It wasn’t a cheap bridge, $60.3 million in 1977 equal to about $310 million today. The replacement cost is estimated at around $400 million but may well be a bigger better bridge. Bridges aren’t designed to be hit by ships.
