Engineer Surprised by Bridge Collapse, Calls for Preventive Measures

Structural engineer John Pistorino expressed astonishment on “Fox & Friends” following the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after being struck by the Singapore-flagged cargo ship Dali.

Pistorino highlighted Baltimore’s lack of preventive measures to deter vessels from colliding with the bridge, emphasizing the effectiveness of such systems in Tampa.

He underscored the importance of redundancy in bridge design to ensure survival in case of damage, suggesting it as a standard safety feature. President Biden conveyed condolences to those affected by the tragedy, acknowledging the anguish felt by families awaiting news of their loved ones.
