Just an old fart who enjoys humor in all shapes and sizes. I am the "hermit on the hill", and I like it that way.

Diversionary bulkheads. Thick walls that angle towards the highest clearance span of the bridge so that any out of control vessel would be forced under that span. I realize that those huge container ships have a lot of momentum. I didn’t say it would stop them, just nudge them away from the bridge supports. Also, I wonder why they didn’t drop anchor as soon as they could. This may have been addressed but I haven’t read it. Just wondering if that would have done any good, at least slowing the ship down.
