that for the impulse of a large load of many thousands of times when it hit something. so i'm a ship is obviously struck the support of the bridge. not surprisingly, the bridge collections, because the support is a very rapidly flimsy struck to it. when you look at it, it's a us president joe biden said, the disaster was an accident and pledged federal funding to rebuild my attention that federal government will pay for the entire cost to read your stucky nap ridge . and i expect the congress to support my effort this gonna take some time. the people ball and i can count on. so to stick with them at every step of the way to the pores reopen and the bridges rebuilt. the meanwhile, people in the region a bracing for the aftermath. the pulse of both them all is key to shipping on the us east coast and the collapsed bridge will lack, recreate traffic jams for months or even years to come. dr. muhammed shawnee is

a structural engineering professor at the university of south hampton in the okay, i asked him why so much of the bridge collapsed after the impact? the reason that the bridge because collapse the 1st visit is that there wasn't any the she bad, it should be back bad here in front of the p is a and the reason that you don't have a probably the breed was a relatively old. i don't know the details of the, of the priest. i'm just the my, my observation is based on the videos i've seen and the carnival bodies was quite heavy. and you have got that heavy sheep impacting and having the college and we do with this peer. so obviously with the fade yet, but the, but the progressive clips was a that it was a secret, very important. and that when been the p of went away. so the part of the big been down in that on balance force distributed across it that what date and essentially
4:05 am
results, it's a complete collapse of the whole world bridge. so he's you spoke of a single point of failure there. does that mean that the bridge had some type of design flaw? or no, it's not the design flow. it's, it is the way that these uh the, the, the brands but deputies lots. but the problem was the p. s, but not designed for the same price. and they didn't have any, any shipping pack value, so that, that's the problem. so if, if the, if the, the breeze was that those ppos, if they wanted to take that he did, must be lost. that's a large loading coming from the impact that would survive. but the, but the weather but not design and it didn't have any shape to it should be impact patty. and so that, that was the problem. but if you remove the column on a bridge, so nobody says that before though. now you did mention that the bridge was quite old and we know it opened in 1977. do you think the age of the structure played a role in this collapse?
4:06 am
not necessarily. i don't think it has any due to ratio because of the 18 problem. there is a demand problem. as i said, it all comes down to do a big protection of the bridge, p a or against is college in the college. and then in shipping back, and that was the main main main main reason. so now we're seeing some pictures. now the bridge i'm just there and we do know of the collapse records has blocked a major port. do you know the baltimore is the only place where a bridge collapse can block such a major transit way? you know, i mean, this is quite common. how many do you have you have got to uh, are you able to change that has more of the bridges on them or the structures? i mean, the police are living in south hampton. if you ever got to the but it shouldn't, coming to the port, we check to see ready send me the condo for the cargo ship. said he's going, you know, bounce up the top. have to import and, and there are
