The Francis Key Bridge collapse has ignited debates about the safety of America's infrastructure. AdvertisementThe 984-foot container ship that caused the Francis Scott Key Bridge to collapse has raised questions about whether the structure could have been saved. AdvertisementAs the city grapples with the fallout, discussions have started to grow around the bridge collapse. A bridge engineering expert also pointed them out to the Sydney Morning Herald in an article discussing whether a similar bridge collapse could happen in Australia. Gao said that more robust protections "could have potentially prevented the bridge collapse."

A loss of propulsion would have had an effect on the rudder's ability to steer effectively, Lipian told BI. Related stories"There's no brakes on a ship," Lipian added. Instead of building bridges strong enough to withstand a direct impact from a ship, engineers focus on deflecting a wayward vessel from its path. AdvertisementIn fact, engineers would struggle to design a bridge capable of stopping a ship as large as the Dali, she said. Newer bridges, built with heavier cargo ships in mind, may include larger gaps between the supporting piers, Broyd said.
