Amazing how many people are shocked that the bridge collapsed like that. That was one huge ship! Bridges are in a carefully balanced state of tension and compression, if anything as significant as a large container ship upsets that, I'd be shocked if it survived.


Yes, I saw and 'engineer' on the news who said he was supprised it collapsed after the loss of the support... I can't even fathom how you could think the bridge could levitate on one support.
