Western Kentucky Bridge Collapse

Apparently two spans of the Kentucky Bridge Collapsed Thursday after being hit by a 312 foot long cargo ship. Luckily no one was injured.

This collapse will expedite the plans of replacing the bridge which carries 2,800 vehicles a daily. I'm hoping this makes the state realize the benefits of having pier protection in the channel, making sure navigation lights are working and checking the freeboard on vessels better. Here's a story about how it caused the internet to go out at local schools, oh yeah side note it also made a bridge collapse.
