Wonder if they would have made it if they sailed under the middle of the bridge, where it is higher? Hard to tell?

It appears they used the wrong ship channel. - tom

The U.S. Coast Guard reported on January 27 that the Delta Mariner hit the bridge when it tried to pass through what is known as the ,recreational channel, which has a lower clearance, instead of the shipping channel, which the vessel normally used.[5]
