They were having problems with it and when they called tech support, Steve in India suggested to reboot the system. That's why the lights went out. |

Interesting that the power poles in that waterway appear to have fairly robust islands with walls that look like they are intended to deflect a vessel.

The ones that surround The Sunshine Skyway are MUCH MORE adequate to withstand a ship's ramming. I am not big on gov spending my money, but it should be standard to have sufficient bumpers and island around bridge spans, all lacking spans can be retrofitted. |

The point I was making is that you can see the supports for the bridge and they have essentially nothing around them. Lives are at stake on a bridge, not a cell tower or power line tower. It's the airbag argument. "What if it doesn't work?". Well, what if it does? It's better than doing nothing.

I'm making the assumption that the cell tower and power people are protecting their assets and are not too concerned with the ships or much else. I can't say whether those bumpers are legislated or whether they did it for themselves.

Most likely their decision to protect their assets. It's questionable whether they would stand up to a 90,000 ton ship moving at 9 mph. |
