it seems like a bad design that the entire bridge ripped off the pilings, instead of the impacted section

It looks like the design was a cross between a truss and cantilever design, but with the two cantilever elements (the two halves of the arch) rigidly connected. One half went down and it dragged the rest with it. The other spans to the north may have been knocked down as the others fell but there's no clear footage of the spans that far north.

Not an engineer though so I couldn't tell you if that's a good design for specific purposes or a bad one.

You generally want all parts of a truss to be connected so that it stands up.

given that all the missing presumed dead people are bridge staff, there might be a bridge captain and he had a bad day

Really long spans balance against adjacent spans and thus need to be connected. You can go with a bunch of smaller individual spans but they will be shorter and ironically navigation would be harder.

During the great Berlin Blockade our fearless grandfathers managed to get critical supplies through with an improvised air bridge.
Is this generation up to the challenge?

I guess one of the containers that fell off the ship was full of fur pelts because they are washing up everywhere this morning. There’s about to be some thrift stores and pawn shops full of some nasty rear end fur.

I could probably captain a ship and be pretty good at it and probably not hit a bridge.

I got a boat last winter and all during the summer last year I didn't hit one single bridge. I could be running that thing and getting paid big bucks to not be smashing down bridges or anything else.
