This is so sad and scary. It’s amazing someone survived unscathed. [/quote]

You're an idiot. It's not just Amazon.

Baltimore is the #1 port for import/export of sedans and light duty trucks. One of the largest ports for transferring coal and sugar. It's a huge port.

Jesus, look at the force of the ship. Despite moving slowly, the mass of the ship was just too much for the bridge to handle (F = M x V)

How was it able to stop? Is the pillar that strong? Or would it have regained control to stay in one spot?

In in the nighttime video it all looks so small. The daytime really lets you comprehend the sheer scale of things. But what terrible luck to hit the pillar head on. [/quote]

It stopped because the steel truss of the bridge in embedded into the nose of the ship...  :shock:

So some are complaining the bridge was too flimsy because it collapsed and now some are complaining that the bridge was too strong and stopped the ship. [/quote]
