According to WCCO, CNN reporting water erosion caused piling (?) to fail.

That doesn't make sense. All the bridge pilings were on dry land. The bridge had no structural elements in the river.

They had a random "expert" on why said that that was the cause of a bridge collapse in New York State.

They also mentioned that there was significant rain and potentially some flooding a couple of weeks ago.
