These should’ve been standard at every bridge without land-based piers (including Key), might have prevented this.
They should have been mandated after the Sunshine Skyway Collapse but we're not a society prone to doing anything that's smart. "Waste of time and money" I'm sure. They could have done that instead of spending billions of dollars and a decade on a replacement bridge.

Can you imagine what was happening on the bridge of that ship?
