A list of major US bridge collapses caused by ships and barges
A world shipping association says there have been at least 35 major bridge collapses worldwide from 1960 to 2015 due to ship or barge collision.apnews.com
It happens all the time. That's because it's stupid to build big bridges over major port traffic.
And how many transits by ships under all existing bridges during that time period?
The whole reason for a bridge is to allow ship traffic in these cases.
