Wow what is even holding that up (well of course nothing anymore)? Its purely planer apart from those stilts, did the bridge just give out or did the stilts lose a footing?

That leads to a closed incident report whose only history is its creation. You'd think the history of a closed incident might have more detail.

Bridge collapse are so jarring especially when the post-mortems are like "ya we just didn't fix it while it was falling apart and now its fallen down". How often does it come down to rusty parts? I guess this is sort of a new era of learning for our generation of Engineers. "This is what a bridge looks like thats about to fall"
