Re: Baltimore bridge has collapsed.
Anything is possible if you have enough money. Design and building such a structure would be financially unfeasible. The best way to think about it is that the pier itself wasn't strong enough, and so to protect it, you'd have to build something stronger than the pier, and then multiply that throug...
