A stunning series of photos and videos shows the violent impact of the explosion that tore through Russia’s prized Kerch Strait bridge to Crimea early Saturday morning.
A monstrous fireball bloomed over all four of the bridge’s vehicle lanes at 6:07 a.m. as a passenger car and a freight truck drove side by side up the incline to its towering arch.
The flames appeared to reach across the water, enveloping the twin railroad bridge about 100 feet away.

Fake news I’m sure we’ll be told too by Putin’s FR jock-sniffing brigades.

Just NO way that could be safe & sound and good to go after burning for hours like that.
Something burning like crazy also not on the bridge, below and to the right.

You seem to have a lot of unresolved homo-erotic issues with Putin. Perhaps you should seek help....

The lack of vehicular traffic suggests a route not under heavy use by the Russian military and therefore a target of limited military value.

—The lack of vehicular traffic suggests a route not under heavy use by the Russian military and therefore a target of limited military value.”
The rail lines are one of two primary routes into Ukraine.
It is a big deal.
Daily traffic 15,000 cars
with bridge traffic peaking in the summer months – on 5 August 2018 the bridge broke a single-day record for car traffic, with 32,000 vehicles crossing the span, followed by over 33,000 vehicles on 12 August that year and over 35,000 a year later.

Scanning and searching each vehicle may slow the flow.

Are you in middle school? Grow up!It's interesting that middle school children in your neck of the woods understand the phrase "unresolved homo-erotic issues", Nickie.
Me and shadowlands like to keep the globohomos and kiddie groomers on your side of the societal fence, where they apparently belong.

I’m not the one running around telling everyone that disagrees with me that they ‘sniff Putin’s jock strap’ and are ‘Putin puffers’..etc, etc... ad nauseum. Why Jim keeps allowing you bots to infect this site is beyond me...
I have no problem with people supporting Ukraine if that floats their boat... it’s this evil homo erotic nonsense that annoys me. Try debating not insulting....

These Russia Ukraine threads have you guys taking this way too personal. Maybe take a couple of weeks doing something diverting and refreshing. Go beat up some old ink printers with your mosin nagants.

Why are you blaming me? Oh, I see your confusion.
"Salohcin" is "Nicholas" spelled backwards.
Hence, Nickie, the diminutive. Not you, nickcarraway, who I consider to be a "fair and balanced" Free Republic article poster.
So - my apologies for any confusion. And keep up the good work! :)

Probably has as much to do with it being 6:05AM on a weekend as anything.War tends to be a 24/7 operation. The bridge had very light traffic. The explosion appears to have occurred on the very outermost span.
