2021 Suez Canal obstruction edit
This accident involving the Ever Given on 2021-03-24, did not involve a bridge, but it blocked international trade for 6 days. Should it be included in this list of bridge failures?
Culverts are, strictly speaking, not bridges yet one such accident near Gosford is included. Should the Suez canal incident be included as well?
Two tankers also collided on 2021-07-17 also blocking the canal briefly.

In the Mamatlakala highway accident of 28 March 2024 where a bus crashed through the barriers of a bridge, it seems to be the fault of the bus driver and/or the bus stearing. The great height of the bridge over its ravine (about 50 metres) would have contributed to the severity of the accident, but like the Ever Given accident is this really a bridge accident? ----MountVic127 (talk) 04:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

If you search for "Ravine accidents" there are quite a lot of examples, enough to have a Draft:List of ravine and other failures. ----MountVic127 (talk) 05:06, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
There may be some merit in skipping past accidents with fewer than, say, 4 or 10 killed and injured.
