31.000 vehicles a day use the bridge, "or did"
YouTube it, there is footage of it happening.
It's a huge container ship.

Looks like it was a genuine accident.. nothing the crew could have done. We will know more when they look at the "black box".

Possibly seven people still missing, although two have been found, one is in a critical condition.
Whatever the outcome there is going to be a big insurance claim.
If liability is found to rest with the owners, the tab will be footed by the Dali’s protection & indemnity policy. UK-based marine mutual Britannia.
