The center section let loose on one end and I assume the weight caused the other end to let go quickly. The other sections of the non redundant bridge fall back towards shore due to no center span holding them together a little bit later. This was one of the last non redundant bridges built with this design (thank goodness).

Which looks to me to be the span that all the trucks, etc were on, and also was the span that the construction workers were working on.
