I have seen claims that materials and heavy equipment were stored on the bridge, but I can’t say I’ve seen proof of this.
I recall one image showing small, maybe a little bigger than golf carts, buggies for carrying sand or gravel, some images of men with jackhammers breaking deck for replacement, and maybe one or two dump trucks, but that’s all I have photo support for.
I’ve looked for piles of gravel or sand in the post collapse imagery and have not found them. Not saying there weren’t any, just that so far most of the evidence supporting heavy materials and equipment stored on the bridge, from what I’ve actually seen, is hearsay only.
Would telling you that I saw the equipment sitting on the bridge a couple of times a day when I crossed it during June and July substantiate the claims?
