With enough speed, I bet the Duke boys could make that jump

Bomb. No way entire bridge would collapse off a cargo ship that’s lost power
My guess is whatever red head from a prominant Maryland family was the ports chief of staff and helped cooridnated it

I guess the Baton Rouge bridge budget just took a massive hit

All the Steel at the top is connected. When the first part fails and starts to drop the right side deflects up a few feet then falls too.

Are you attempting to be humorous or are you just stupid?

Or… the risk assessment with losing the current bridge just came to the forefront and it is determined to be vital to the commerce of the whole US.

you would be surprised...my timeline is full of people i went to HS with.... that couldn't spell calculus but suddenly are all bridge engineers.
as in engineer the amount of stupidity I have seen posted in the past 8 hours has been eye opening.

seems like they had a chance of surviving if they could see what was happening and could jump off the side.
Not even close.
If they survived the fall to begin with, the subsequent bridge falling on them would’ve done it.
Better to take your chances in the fall and hop nothing is above you when you get to the water.

Apparently you don’t understand physics.

Wonder how long it'll take to receive your sex doll that was on that ship

Well, for certain it won't be named the Francis Scott Key bridge when it is rebuilt

I doubt the Huey P could handle that increased amount of traffic.

Tell me you didn’t have to construct a mini bridge in middle school for science class without telling me.

But if you are on top of the concrete as it is falling and you jump at the instant the concrete hits the water, you should be fine, right?

Looking at the bridge I am still a little unsure why the furthest right span failed.
To me it looked like with the left pier out, the right span turned into a simple span supported on both sides (one side the remaining pier, and the other the approach).
My guess is the furthest right section of the bridge (where the bridge starts) was never meant to support that kind of shear load when the central span fell, but I do buildings and not bridges.
Any bridge structural guys out there that can help me out?
you are right that it should have been a simple span supported on both sides but if you look at the video you will see when the left side falls it jerks the right side up and the connection on the right fails as it comes off, then its simply balancing and falls back down to the right side.
sorry if i didnt explain well. but it was simple failure of the connection to land on the right when other side of the bridge failed. watch the video a couple times and you will see it.
