It's hard to believe that incidents like this can still happen, with so many safeguards in place.

Time lapse shows two distinct power losses and then recovery but too late by then.

That’s why they’re called accidents! The odds of that happening must be in the ‘1 in hundreds of millions’

Container ships keep getting bigger and bigger, gotta have those cheap goods from China and the infrastructure isn't designed for it. Remember the one that closed the Suez canal ?

To heavy I suspect to drop anchor. Really no way to avoid something like this. That's how a lot of commercial fishing boats sink is lose power at wrong time close to shore

I wonder what the biggest ships were when the bridge was designed & built? They'd have planned for some growth for sure, but perhaps not to the extent that occurred...
Seems the ships emergency declaration got traffic stopped or at least slowed getting onto the bridge, there was much less on it when it struck.
Imagine being the insurance co covering that vessels liability? eep!

The bridge is a cantilever design and the base of the cantilever was pushed off of the foundation once that happened nothing was saving that bridge.
It's a tragedy for sure.
