Declassified documents show security assurances against NATO expansion to Soviet leaders from Baker, Bush, Genscher, Kohl, Gates, Mitterrand, Thatcher, Hurd, Major, and Woerner

The Dali weight and momentum easily displaced the bridge support’s foundation . . . before the ship struck the bridge support itself.

Yeah, but this bridge didn’t have any kind of upstream structure to protect the piers at all. Sure, they have a foundation, but that’s immediately below each pier, and looking at the aerial photos of the bridge (pre-incident), the piers are entirely unprotected other than for a very few feet of concrete belonging to the pier foundations. And the foundation doesn’t appear to extend more than just a few feet above the water. This ship, or any of similar size, would not have even contacted those foundations before the bow rammed the bridge pier structure.

It appears that the ship was heading to the bridge completely off course and heads toward the support column in this video.

This makes it appear deliberate, as other cargo ships would have passed underneath mid span.

There are reports that there may have been attempts to stop traffic on the bridge as the ship was approaching the bridge, which may account for there not being a lot of traffic on the bridge at the time it collapsed

Yes they would abandon them because they are amoral. We don’t live in the same country anymore. The ignorance is astonishing.

Reminds me of when a freighter crashed into the Tampa Bay Skyway in 1980, collapsing the bridge and killing 42 thereon.

Hey, I'm all for Israel taking care of business, with extreme prejudice...
...but obviously the US has issues we need to take care of, AND we're $30+ trillion in debt!
