So that means in order for a bridge with two trusses to collapse in 4 seconds the vertical sheer would have to be greater than 5x times the horizontal bearing load. Since it has been proven that high tensile strength steel can only withstand a breaking weight of 9 times its maximum progression load, that means the force of strength to cause the bridge to collapse as fast as it did would be = to the square root of 4 times the 1/3 quantity of the power ratio. Schulstein's 3rd law of engineering dynamics states that this is absolutely impossible and that a collapse of a < 4 magnitude has to have a significantly greater accelerate force ratio behind its negative impact vectors.

So scientifically your theory that his is some "accident" is so full of crap its unbelievable and only a significant outside force, like explosives, could cause a bridge to fails as quickly as this one did.


poor Chachi. it's embarrasing.
