We must never speak of this!
Sky News Australia (Like Fox but slightly less insane, but no lighter on the culture war bullshit) claimed they had dramatic 'exclusive footage' of an explosion taking out the Key Bridge and broadcast it on one of their dipshit "news" shows.

It was footage of the bridge attack in Crimea from 2022.

Those electrical pylon barriers are not nearly big enough to have protected them from a ship of this size, and installing something on the bridge pylons that would have would be an immense structure
Not saying it shouldn't have been done though - there aren't many places in the world that would put a bridge with exposed and vulnterable pylons in the middle of what I understand is a major shipping channel.

this guy bridges

and if he's right, Mayland DOT is at least partially culpable for being neglectful in not installing barrier protections for such infrastructure. Was it ineptitude or a dysfunctional state or city government unable to secure funding, or did they not even have commissioned studies done for such upgrades? Surely a fading empire if true.

They could've built something capable of deflecting it at least, stopping no. Its far easier to get something that size deflected and the energy moving in a different, slightly changed direction than to stop it.

lol I had friends that would steal the salt from roadside storage buildings to make money in Baltimore, if you put ships at robbery accessible levels next to a major highway someone’s going to be pawning entire containers.
