Since the I-40 bridge was hit in the past and repaired/reinforced, they knew they couldn't take that one down with a simple hit. I'm betting they tried to take this one down too, but it was unsuccessful.
Moving forward, I would hope boats going under most bridges should have an escort of some sort.
