Sky News was able to secure a civil engineer to give insight and analysis into this disaster in the morning hours. It was a lightweight structure built in the spirit of minimizing cost and anticipating container ships that were approximately ¼ the mass that they are today. That giant ship smashing a critical base of support, the structure could not support itself and experienced rapid failure. Necessary action item: Structure owners adjacent to commercially-important waterways should reassess their risks of collision by modern-sized extreme ships and mitigate where possible to preserve life-safety and sometimes property.
