Hull plates of Civilian Freighters are stronger then one would think. They’re meant to survive being tossed around in storms at sea and subjected to punishing force.
Not to mention the momentum of the falling Bridge was likely slowed by the stacks of Containers. And it also didn’t have that far fall in relation to hitting the ship.
As far as I was aware. The last story I was aware of wasn’t that it punctured the Hull. It apparently sheared off the rivets so panels of plating quite literally fell off/were pushed aside by the passing Iceberg. Allowing Water in. Apparently it’s believed now the builders deliberately skimped out on the Rivets and didn’t use the right ones.
The explosion was likely due to water hitting the coal fires.
