Comments by "GH1618" (@GH-oi2jf) on "Why did Baltimore's Key Bridge collapse? Renowned structural engineer weighs in" video.

This engineer is an expert in structures, and is focussed on the structure of the bridge itself. He completely misses the point that when a bridge crosses a ship channel, it is necessary to prevent a ship from striking the structure of the bridge or its supports. This is done with fenders designed to keep ships away from the pylons and to absorb energy from allisions. The first photograph of the bridge in this video clearly shows that it has no large energy-absorbing fenders around the main pylons, yet "no issues were reported with the Francis Scott Key bridge."
