    Bowie Marylander here. Most don't realize the collateral damage beyond the deceased. [May they Rest In Peace.] The bridge wreckage spans the entire width of the waterway. The entire harbor is on lockdown for the foreseeable future. Baltimore was the closest East Coast port to the Midwest and the biggest automobile export and import terminal in America. Meaning every thing coming and going to and from Europe, Africa and the Middle East through Baltimore on wheels is halted. Kaputt. Stuck. Expect price increases from shortages. But we will come back bigger and better.

    The folks making a mockery out of this, bringing up politics, making jokes should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I sincerely hope that them nor their families are ever impacted by trauma. Have some humanity….. that’s what’s wrong with this county and this world. Not everything is about politics…… Think and pray if you believe in a higher power for the victims, their families, and the first responders. That is what makes a good human.

      That's not exactly true.
      Some bridges have structures protecting the piles designed to stop this kind of ships !
      But without protection, yes, at least a partial collapse will take place, which is what happened here. I say partial because the truss is a completely unified structure.
      Other example includes:
      - Almö Bridge (Sweden), an arch bridge that was hit on onw side by a ship. Now rebuilt, it's a suspension bridge with the piles on both baks of the passage. But in this case here, it's likely too wide for such a design

      This is a truss structure. It is a continuous structure. If part of it fails, it collapses. It is designed to collapse in conditions that are highly unlikely.
      This is beyond unlikely, especially at the time it was built.
      Bridges have a major challenge, it's to span an area where there are no support. So the structure is continuous to enable that.
      The bridge here behaved perfectly. It did what it was required to do. Being hit by a bridge much larger than what existed at that time is not part of the risk taken into account. Nothing surprising any engineer here !

      That would incur costs. Having a crew standing to by 24/7, while providing a false sense of security, it will revisit the question that has this country polarized right now. How we pay for and who pays for public safety, Taxes that would cover the cost of these safety measures would be vehemently opposed by some, maybe even most of the people in these comments. Even if there were tugs, catastrophic failures are time sensitive and there is no way to know if there was enough time to get a tug deployed and attached to the ship. The time to stop or divert a vessel moving in water is not instantaneous. Anchors even with engines operating at full reverse are not always sufficient to prevent collisions. This is a tragedy, as is all loss of life in the course of commerce.

In the meantime, billions would be lost while the port is blocked and vehicle traffic is diverted. It’s better to use tax dollars to rebuild the bridge as soon as possible. Monetary damages can be assessed at a later date, at which point the shipping company can be penalized.
