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.

I dunno if there’s anyrhinf you can do to protect a bridge from that
Putting some dolphins in place might be a start
With ☢️ 's? Those dolphins?
I think there were, but not enough
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.
