It's considered small by container ship standards

Quoted: Would it have lost power running on nut coal? It's not big by container ship standards, so no, it might burn it in a parlor stove in the ward room. |

Think I read it is about 3x the size of ships built around the time the bridge was built - but is a medium sized ship by today's standards.

As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most, with a crew and good captain well seasoned.

THATS CALLED NUT COAL, BIG SHIPS BURN BIG COAL. THATS THE SIZE YOU BURN IN A KITCHEN COAL STOVE. I BURN BIGGER COAL THEN THAT IN OUR PARLOR STOVE. OF COURSE THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD BIG LUMPS AND CRACKED THEM INTO 4 PIECES FOR PROFIT . THE BIG SHIPS AND FOUNDRYS BURN EGG COAL. COAL IS SOLD BY THE SIZE RICE,BUCK,PEA,NUT,STOVE, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST EGG. I LIVE RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE COAL REGION AND ALWAYS HAVE. IF I WASNT SO TIRED I WOULD GO TAKE PICTURES OF BUCK (I BURN THAT IN A STOKER) AND SOME STOVE COAL (I BURN IN THE PARLOR STOVE)

Apparently container ships have gotten much bigger in the recent past. Something along the lines of the Dali being considered barely medium sized in todays measure but 5 or 10 years back it would have been considered quite large.
Short answer it was quite big enough. I saw another video of the crash and there was a solid line of cars and semi trucks crossing the span up to 30 or 60 seconds before the span fell. The cops (or whoever) who blocked traffic did a bang up job. Loss of life could have been way worse if the timing had been just a minute or two different Of course my thoughts go out to friends and families of the construction guys who died |

So is the consensus that they ran out of big coal?

Dali has 9971 TEUs
MSC Irina (green ship pic above) has 24,346 TEUs. |
