Agree, not only that but the capacity of these ships have increased 1000% (one thousand percent) in capacity since that bridge was designed. The particular capacity of this ship (Dali) seems about the capacity of ships they started building in the early mid to early 2000's which is still up or around 400% larger than 1972 and close to 700% larger than 1968 it seems.I mean let's be a little honest about this. The bridge stood 50 years built with the best practices and technology available at the time. It had to be high enough for ships to pass and was built in a harbor protected from the sea. There was little to no expectation of a ship crashing into it.
Freak accidents can and do occur. It was not a fault of intended design.
Sad about the loss of life yet replacing the bridge now was just part of something inevitable to happen at some point in time I would think.
