| #5 Oooohh after a careful viewing of the video, I know exactly what caused the collapse! If you view the top video, you see a guy on top of the bridge on the left. He was too fat and the extra weight made the bridge do a "London bridge". All joking aside, it appear to me the left most strut broke at the base, starting a 'domino' effect. Hard to be sure as it all happened so fast. I did notice in an earlier video of the bridge being installed that base seemed rusty to me. Guess we'll have to wait for the experts to figure it out. |

| #3 I don't know what happened to the embeds. Rantburg does that sometimes. Sometimes if a moderator goes into the Edit function without changing anything, the problem resolves itself. It looks like somebody did that. |

| #1 I don't know what happened to the embeds. They worked fine for preview, but when I checked it said "The webpage cannot be found". |
