As of Sunday morning‚ the vessels navigational status is anchored.The incident comes nearly two weeks after a container ship lost power andcollapsed the 1.6-mile-longFrancis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore‚ Maryland‚ paralyzing the Port of Baltimore.While the Verrazzano shares some characteristics with the Key Bridge‚ there are also important differences‚ an opinion piece in theWall Street Journalrecently read‚ adding:First‚ its massive vertical supports are positioned much closer to land than the Key Bridges1‚000 feet away from the harbors navigation channelmaking them considerably less likely to be hit by an errant vessel. The towers also are surrounded by rock islands‚ which would force any ship heading toward the supports to run aground before striking the tower. Additional safety projects have further hardened protections‚ even adding an air gap sensor system that detects vertical clearances between the bridge and large vessels passing underneath.The collapse of the Baltimore bridge has sparked discussions in corporate media about Americas vulnerable infrastructure. Within government‚ high-level officials are likely concerned about terrorists crippling the nation through a series of infrastructure attacks. Maybe its time the US government vet all foreign crews of commercial vessels entering Americas waters
