Could a ship collision cause a bridge collapse in WNY? Experts say it's very unlikely

The Buffalo News quoted Darrell Kaminski in an article discussing the possibility that a ship collision could cause a bridge collapse in Western New York. Kaminski explained that the Peace Bridge’s five concrete piers have several purposes, including structural soundness and deterring damage from collisions and natural disasters, and that there is no need for concern about a similar collision in the area.
