Baltimore bridge struck by boat and collapses - Lemmy.World

Holy crap! That went down way more quickly than I expected.

That went down way more quickly than I expected

Id say it fell at roughly the speed of gravity.

My point is that it didn’t collapse it pieces. It just fell straight down with seemingly no structural resistance.
Bridges aren’t meant to withstand those kinds of forces. I’m actually not sure what is able to withstand them.
