For a few dollars, I can test your conclusions with an hydrocode...

Darn fine work, that.

Is there anything to the claim that material and trucks were stored on the bridge the day of the collapse?

Mercy! This is a lot to digest so I’ll come back later. But thanks for a very interesting and informative report.

Very impressive analysis. I have no experience in engineering, but what you said made sense. Thanks for pinging me.

Yes, the investigators were sent a pic from someone who had just flown over the bridge in a commercial plane which gave great detail of what u r wondering about. Sorry I cannot give you a link altho it may be on one of the TC tv webpages as I saw it on thier newscasts..

Here is the info and link but no pic.

Federal officials investigating the disaster said Friday an aerial photo made before the bridge collapsed shows where construction equipment was placed on the structure and could help investigators determine why the bridge fell.

In Depth: Deadly bridge collapse
“This gives us an outstanding depiction of what, in fact, was on the bridge as it relates to the loads that were provided by the construction company: the equipment, the positioning of the equipment, where the loads were. All of that data will be put into our ... computer model,” Mark Rosenker, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said Friday.

Thank you.

Great work.

One point of failure, with no plan to contain it.
