> A dolphin might have mitigated a glancing blow
Are you referring to the animal, or is this slang for some sort of nautical device?

What I don't know is how much protection these would offer in a direct hit like the Dali on the Key Bridge. They definitely work for glancing blows and smaller vessels. Would the Dali just push right through/over these? Or would the impact move enough earth (below the surface) to cause the bridge major structural damage?
