Geno, you mentioned 1 to 1,000 could be the odds of that structural column being struck by a passing ship, I’d guess it’s much smaller of a chance by a few orders of magnitude. Statistically speaking, you’d have a probability when everything is normal then start reducing the chance dramatically when you enter in any mechanical failures they find occurred within a certain vicinity of the bridge .
Probably right about orders of magnitude, especially if including commercial fishing vessels, recreational ships, Navy, etc.

I don't remember when that bridge was built but I bet there's been 1000+ big ships under that going to those docks in the harbor.

The Dali appears to have beaten the odds.
