Go eff yourself.
I don’t know what you weigh, but if it’s under 300#, I’ve blown up more C-4 than that in one blast, more than once.

Don’t think that was a car bomb that did the bridge …,

Well is sure wasn't a Sea Doo bomb. That was a massive explosion.

A water-level attack MIGHT have taken out a pier, at water level, (MIGHT, depending on amount of explosive, configuration, placement, etc.), but the damage clearly was from above, to the roadway, and the side-flash of the elevated explosion ignited the tanker cars on the adjoining RR bridge.

You can believe whatever you want, and opine whatever you want. From the photo, the bridge decking was forced up from the force of the explosion. Directly under the explosion, the bridge decking was damaged from the heat of the blast, resulting in its failure. The photo also shows that the decking was pulled up and out from a pier three piers away from the blast. Sorry, but a truck bomb can't do that. It's simple physics because it is too far from the blast itself. The explosion was obviously from below. Secondary explosions or combustion caused the scorch marks on the bridge. The heat of the blast alone could have ignited the rail car tankers.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Literally no clue.

I did this kind of work (in training, with both inert and live demolitions) professionally.
