With so much weight and inertia involved, it would make sense to have tugs escort ships out of the harbor to avoid such a catastrophe. I'm sure that would be expensive, but this illustrates the downside. I know hindsight is 20/20, but this should have been anticipated.

I wonder if not replacing the bridge and re-routing traffic is feasible. Not replacing the Embarcadero Freeway after it collapsed seems to have been a big plus overall.
