I forgot to mention, the Verrazzano has a robust protection system around the towers.. basically tons of riprap around the tower base/pier caps..

Though I wonder if even that is enough...The impact energy of a 100,000 ton ship going 8 knots hitting an object at 90 deg is like a really big hard to comprehend number
