Welcome to the sixteenth episode of Failurology; a podcast about engineering failures. This week's episode is about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge Collapse.
After the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was hit by the MV Summit Venture, collapsing a 300m+ section of the bridge into the Tampa Bay, Florida had to rebuild the bridge better and safer. This episode covers the original bridge construction (6:00), the bridge collapse (7:45), and how the failure shaped the new bridge design (14:50).
Engineering news segment covers the NASA Mars Perseverance Rover (4:25) - https://phys.org/news/2021-02-mars-team-awestruck-photo-descending.html
