How can a bridge just upend like this so quickly? Are bridges build differently now or has this always been a thing? Genuenly confused here.
Hundred thousand tons of ship hitting horizontally vs bridge that's really strong vertically. As soon as the pier is compromised the whole thing just becomes levers and physics.
