Also, if you notice at the very end of the collapse, there is a section across the river that was still standing after the rest went down.

Thats because it fell from it's own weight, once the adjacent supporting elements fell.
This bridge was a single unit, with each span supporting the ones on either end.
It was basically a balancing act.
Change the weight distribution, and down it goes.

Have you seen the video link posted on Drudge? How did the whole span fall together at the same time? It’s wierd how both ends go at the same time. I would have expected one joint to go and then the rest.

This is a long thread- and I’ve not kept up so don’t know if this has been posted. Just now on FOX Shep reported that some of the people that were unable to be rescued were giving messages to the rescuers for their families- let them know I love them...

Unimaginable.
