cars crossing the span every day. a lot of people wondering if this could happen here and there have been a couple of crashes into the old bay bridge back in 2013. and an the oil tanker cause minor damage when you hit the base of a bridge tower. it rammed the tower as it headed out to see after it unloaded crude oil at the martinez refinery. in 2007, another container ship, the cosco busan had a run-in with the bay bridge. spilling 52,000 gallons of fuel oil. crews spent months cleaning up the damage. the ships pilot and two shipping companies responsible paid $44.4 million in a settlement. this itself or any community with a busy seaport averages. the fbi said there was no credible information to suggest terrorism . everything points to this being a tragic accident. that is raising some bridge safety concerns. joining us this morning is a professor

. the founding director of the civil engineering and construction management program at cal state university east bay. thank you so much for being here. the basic question off the bat, how safe are our bridges ? could we see something like this. >> i think the main thing is to know and realize that no bridge is designed for having ship , 944 ship ram into it. it is similar to what happened on 9/11. the twin towers were designed for earthquakes and other calamities. but not for a jet plane to crash into it. with a full tank of gas. so, as a result, i think , you know, we are as safe as we can be and the bridge is designed as a safety as it can be designed. however, you cannot

avoid these accidents. the hydraulics goes out and the ship is out of control. and rams into the pier. that is definitely a recipe for disaster. >> it almost seems like we need more safety , failsafes when it comes to the actual boats, which is another matter entirely. is there anything that you can do to fortify the bridges again something like this? >> again , they are designed -- cannot be designed because of the cost for this kind of calamity. and the bridge was not very old. it only opened in 1977. it is not an infrastructure issue or maintenance issue. if you fortify the bridges and appears too much, that you are blocking the passage of the ships and the traffic. it is like putting , you know, a

guardrail in the middle of the road. it will slow down the traffic. >> write. a lot of factors to consider. are there any types of lessons we can learn from something like this? >> the lesson is , is that we should not be overly traumatized by an accident . in other words, going over the bridge , every minute feeling like something is going to happen. because these are very rare. and basically , it comes with the territory, basically. going over a bridge from you take the chances. and accidents could happen at all times. >> anytime you get any car. there is a certain level of risk.
