Just completely annihilated it. The mass of that ship must be phenomenal.
Baltimore Bridge

Wonder if he had insurance 
I guess no one is covering the cost of that
Whats a bridge in the west cost these days a few hundred mil?
40mil just to repaint/restore the Tyne Bridge.
AFAIK America has thousands of bridges and dams that need replacing so probably done them a favour.
I'm guessing the emergency vehicles on the bridge were empty and no one was actually standing on it?

For stuff like shipping the insurance is usually backed by a reinsurance company which covers many insurers, to cover the cost of low frequency, major cost, incidents like this.

Tragic accident, hope at least some, including those in vehicles that plunged into the water, escaped and cheated death.
Made me think of the Mythbusters episode, where Adam demonstrated you have to let the car fill with water before trying to open a door and swim out. Manual windows opened will speed up filling the vehicle with water, to equalise pressure.

Wonder what the bills going to be for the insurance for this.
Two R’s in staRboaRd (right) one in port (left). Always worked for me.

More than zero for sure.

Apparently this is Bidens fault. But also Trumps fault. But also Israel. Oh and Russia too.

RIP those that lost their lives...

Don't forget Elon.
There's no RED PORT LEFT in the bottle has always worked for me, which leaves Starboard being green and right.

So the ship has a deadweight of 116,000 tonnes.
In 1969, the largest ship in the world was 29,000 tonnes.

Port and left are the same and have the same number of letters.

Lives lost. 1.5 mile bridge. Damage to ship and cargo. Surely you're talking £5bn+

Let's blame Putin regardless, and put an end to his nonsense once and for all.
Considering a good chunk of the bridge is intact I wonder if they will simply try and rebuild what was lost and repair anything that was strained on the intact session of the bridge or if they will have to tear it all down and rebuild it from both sides of the coast.
Apparently $1.4bn is the average cost of a bridge like that today oof. EDIT: That one looks like on the lower end of the scale of that kind of project though so high 100s of mill to a billion is probably around the mark.
Probably talking into the low 100s of million for compensation payments and around 500m each for costs related to the ship and repairing the bridge and could easily go north of that.

But in the UK you need to factor in the back hander and government incapability costs.

They will spend weeks or months examining the existing bridge sections that are still standing and then spend another few months deciding on what to do, before eventually ripping it all down and building a new bridge at significant cost, and while they are at it, why build one bridge, when you can build 2 for twice the price.
