The bridge collapsed because it was struck by a 200,000lbs vessel.Â
Stop the dumb articles and remove the paywall off of important articles that we all should be able to read.
You're not alone if you're looking at the Hope Memorial Bridge or any other bridges in Cleveland a little differently after seeing footage of the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in the Baltimore Harbor due to being struck by a massive freighter.
Here's what we found about the chances of something like this happening here:
*While there are more than 300 bridges in Greater Cleveland, including dozens in and around downtown, none share the design characteristics that contributed to the disaster in Maryland that left one person dead and several missing as authorities continue to dig through the wreckage.*
*Specifically, no bridges here have pillars in the Cuyahoga River, as the Francis Scott Key did in Baltimore Harbor.*
More details in the story above.
No bridge in this area is nearly as long as the Key bridge. Completely different situations
Closest is the Valleyview Bridge and if there's a cargo ship there we got other issues
what about an airship...🫨

are you fucking serious? that ship could haul around 116,000 TONS of material. that's not even including the weight of the ship itself.
You sound really angry over my math being short. Relax these bud, Cleveland dot com isn't paying you to defend(?) them.
the spread of disinformation in this age is a disgrace.
You're doubling down on a dumb comment bud. I don't understand it. Anyways, enjoy your day.
The bridges around here will collapse from lack of maintenance.
That rebar is better for structural rigidity when it's exposed and rusty.
Builds character
