Honestly idk if this is even a failed state thing, few bridges survive being hit by a container ship
Update: Apparently this bridge was supposed to have extra supports so that in the event of a collision this exact thing didn’t happen, because this exact thing happened in Tampa in 1980. So it was a failed state thing.
Update 2: I still misunderstood. It was supposed to have dolphins, structures surrounding the supports to protect them from getting hit by a ship. It did have some, they were just way too far from the supports and the ship went right between them, and it should’ve had more of them closer to the supports.

I'll make a failed-state-related prediction: the bridge will not be rebuilt.
As a fuckcars moron, I think that society would be better off if that bridge doesn't get rebuilt.
Suburban ring highways are bad because they encourage car dependent development.
