Video of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland (CW: Likely deaths involved)
My apologies for the Twitter link. Appears to have happened around 1:30 EDT, judging from the timestamp in the video. Seems unsurprising that Amerikkkan infrastructure is in this dire of a state (at the cost of innocent people's lives, as usual), but I'd still love to know what the hell happened here. Hopefully the early hour meant that more people weren't harmed.

If it were me I would simply not build a bridge that has no safety precautions against getting rammed by container ships, but I am built different.
I dunno if there's anyrhinf you can do to protect a bridge from that
I think modern bridges have artificial islands below the water that larger ships will run into, although I don't think those would have done anything against a loaded 300 meter ship like that.
Putting some dolphins in place might be a start
With ☢️ 's? Those dolphins?
