BALTIMORE BRIDGE COLLAPSE

No bridge can withstand millions of pound of force from a strike, as with the cargo ship that hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge. But structures can help protect it. Unfortunately none were in place, multiple civil engineers told media

Engineers have blamed the deadly collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key bridge on a design flaw that is present in tens of thousands of US bridges.

Experts told media that the Maryland bridge was missing critical protection systems that would have stopped the the nearly 105,000 ton container ship from smashing into the bridge’s support.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was built in 1977 and anti-collision devices like fenders or protection cells were not introduced until the 1980s.

More than half of the US’s 621,581 bridges were built before 1980, though, according to the National Bridge Inventory.

FENDERS: These structures can deflect ships away from bridge piers. This bridge spans the Piankatank River in Virginia. It has pier fenders, but if it were struck by a cargo ship it would be no match.

PROTECTION CELLS: These structures are meant to deflect ships away from bridge piers. If damaged, they are much cheaper to fix or replace than a bridge.

Experts said installing fenders would cost at least $3 million, but the collapse means a $15 million per day loss in economic activity and $1.5 million daily in state and local taxes – and that doesn’t include the six men who are presumed dead.

The ship, called Dali, was only traveling around nine miles per hour when it collided with the bridge at 1:28am ET, but the boat’s massive weight meant it had a near-unstoppable momentum.

The ship took down a pair of bridge piers, which left the roadway totally unsupported, so the bridge appeared to crumble instantly.
