based on how important the bridge is to baltimore the ships absolutely need to go under, it's essential transport. just a question of what can be done to make this kind of freak occurrence happen even fewer times and not as catastrophic.
Yeah. I understand that due to so many reasons that you can't just NOT have shipping containers travel under the bridge. It's still so uncomfortable to think about that it could JUST happen though. Even if it was a one-in-a-million chance, how many millions of ships pass underneath that each year?

I'd be interested to know what safeguards there WERE in place already before the collapse. How many things had to fail in order for this to happen?
