    I mean I can’t speak to how “flimsy” this particular bridge is, but it was hit by a container ship. Those things weigh in the hundreds of thousands of tons. It doesn’t much matter how sturdy your bridge is, it’s going down.

      Then that bridge needed to be reinforced a long time ago, or ships like that shouldn’t be allowed there. This was a flimsy bridge for what it is dealing with.

        Again, getting hit head on by a cargo ship, you may as well be throwing the empire State building at it. There is not a bridge on earth that would survive that collision.
