Beautiful bridge & surroundings. Now just a pile of brown/black rubbish.

Thanks for the "before" picture -- it's such a massive thing, it's hard even to take in the whole from Fox -- their camera's not panning wide enough. God help those people!

Looks like a fairly sturdy design, but it also looks a little rusty around the closest support pylon in the picture. If something like that failed, it would come down.

Great pic,,,that tells alot,,,that’s an old bridge,,,
Normally the Ironworkers replace the iron one piece at a time,,,Makes me wonder who the contractor is and just who was/is doing the work...

Im betting one of those supports in the river gave way, and that pulled down the entire span, including the sections over land.
