Yes, I understand that. What I can't figure out is why the wind and waves only knocked alternating sections out of place while leaving the rest in place.

Because every other section has huge concrete pylons anchoring it to the bedrock.

I should have added those sections are made somewhere else and then fitted into place.

I'm guessing it has to do with how water was interacting with the other span. Vortices might have been spaced just right.
