I wouldn't classify this as an issue. No bridge is designed to withstand structures bigger and heavier than the bridge itself hitting them on direct impact.
If this bridge was built in 2023 the results would've been the same.
Like I said with the greyhound. A tour bus smashing directly into a house doesn't mean the house was designed poorly. The majority of houses are not designed to withstand a tour bus crashing through. No bridge is designed to hold up after 200,000,000 pounds hits it directly on it's support.
It's just an unfortunate incident.

Yeah but this is going to have me looking at the ship channel near Houston different…there are plenty of bridges that see similar ship traffic

Was the video where the ships lights went out right before it hit the real or fake one?

That was real. The ship lost power two times before impact. The crew onboard the ship sent a Mayday alert and the traffic controllers were able to clear the traffic from the bridge as best they can.

Plot twist, that footage is direct evidence in any criminal and civil trial so that's the main reason the mayor doesn't want it shown

Do anchors not stop ships that big? I read they deployed anchors before it hit

You know how you get caught in traffic when a train is coming by? The average cargo rail train is close to a mile long with all it's cars attached. It could take up to 3-4 miles for that train to come to a complete stop.
That Dali ship had just left the port in Baltimore. It hadn't even built up 3-4 miles of momentum yet. The amount of time it would've taken for that ship to stop would only have been possible had it been a few more miles away.
In other words, the ship was entirely too big to stop early enough. The crew onboard still sent out a Mayday alert though but stopping was not a legitimate option at that point at that distance.

This is downtown where I live. If you look in the background at the top left you can see a ship with a red deck in the water. That's a cargo carrying ship. That ship is big as fuck up close. You can fit 20 houses off of a regular sized street on that red ship.
The Dali ship that crashed into the Key Bridge is AT LEAST 50x as big as that red deck ship. And it was carrying hundreds of 53 foot trailers. Trailers that people turn into small houses and are regularly on the back of semi-trucks.
Imagine this building turned sideways with 1,000 semi trucks and in the water going 50 mph.
