I don't want to turn this into another conspiracy thread (please don't). But the reaction of the locals provide interesting descriptions of what clearly (at this point) is a structural failure.
BTW, it's early and I can only see the pics from the TV, but based on the fact the concrete columns appeared intact, this looks like the main span of the bridge had a bottom chord joint failure, the remaining top chords went into tension and pulled the adjacent sections of bridge off of their supports. The NTHB will send their team in, and I imagine ASCE will get a team together. Condolences go out to all the people killed in this tragedy.

I watched ALOT of coverage and I never heard one single person say they heard explosions prior to the collapse...if your comparing witness reactions to 911 with the intent of somehow proving a "witness reaction thoery" in order to bolster your 911 "official story" theory...you will be disappointed. Because almost to a T, the witnesses said they heard a jack hammerring noise, a sudden shaking...and then the collapse.
Unlike many, many witnesses on 911 who stated they heard explosions in the basement and then popping sounds all up and down the building before the collapse. Don't get me wrong..I still believe the "official theory"...well except for Building 7...but you'll have to go to Wells to see that analysis....
Could the bridge collapse been terrorism? Well it is still possible...but it sounds unlikely.
