Disagree.

They need to make it so these mega-ships don't go under bridges like this. That's the safety hazard. There's a reason they used to have drawbridges, and probably will go back to here if they can't find another way.

Absolutely mortifying. Certainly makes me scared to traverse any harbor bridge... but thankfully I live nowhere near one. Thoughts and hugs to the friends and families of those who lost their lives.

And my mind immediately went to Stifled and FFD... glad you both are okay!
Think about how many times a day that boats like these travel under bridges with no problem a day. How many times this happens without issue year after year.

This is a freak thing where it appears the boat had a major issue that prevented it from stopping or being controlled properly.

And a drawbridge doesn't help when the boat can't control where it's going and runs into a major support beam.

It's just a tragic, awful series of events that led to this. And if anything, they should be leveling changes to whatever system they used with the boat that malfunctioned like that.
