Looking at the bridge I am still a little unsure why the furthest right span failed.
Continuous truss bridge so it is all one structure.
Many of the big truss bridges in Louisiana are cantilever truss bridges, which are made up of three sections. The sliding pins that connects the sections are massive though, so not sure they would act as shear pins in a similar situation.

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?
I’d get in one of the construction vehicles. Probably wouldn’t work, but it’s a little extra shelter.

I doubt the Huey P could handle that increased amount of traffic.
It would be I-10 to bus 90 over the CCC

It doesn't look like any vehicles are moving across the bridge before it collapsed. It kind of looks like there were some stopped vehicles though, but hopefully not.
The ship's captain called in a "MayDay" so they stopped traffic to the bridge a minute before impact.

Nope... He's a racist with his talk about rockets having a red glare.
It will be the "George Floyd Memorial Highway to Heaven'

They would move east-west traffic to highway 90 through New Orleans to Lafayette.
With all of the tickets being issued, Franklin La would have the GDP of a South American country within 6 months.

On March 26, 2024, at around 1.30 a.m. LT, the 'Dali', which had left the port of Baltimore at 12.45 a.m. en route to Colombo, after which, according to Maersk's sailing plans, it should have continued on to Malaysia and then China, allided with a pillar of the Francis-Scott-Key-Bridge short time after leaving Baltimore, Maryland, in Chesapeake Bay in pos. 39° 13.00' N 076° 31.78' W. At 01:24:32 a.m. LT the ship initially lost power and adjusted its course for around 60 seconds. Just over a minute later the ship starts producing black smoke. The lights went out for a second time around two minutes before it hits the bridge at 01:28:44 a.m. Four seconds later the bridge collapsed into the Patacspo River. The ship reportedly had two pilots on board.
Multiple vehicles were on the bridge at the time of the crash as well as 20 construction workers, who have fallen into the river. Many people were feared dead with over a dozen vehicles and many individuals said to be in the water. Large contingents of rescue forces rushed to the site and started searching for the victims. As cargo or retainers were hanging from the bridge, creating unsafe and unstable conditions, the emergency responders were operating cautiously as a result. All traffic was being detoured by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MTA). The 2.5km-four-lane bridge serves as the outermost crossing of the Baltimore harbor and an essential link of Interstate-695, or the Baltimore Beltway.
Ships on scene were the 'Timothy McAllister' (IMO: 8997895), 'Bridgetr McAllister' (IMO: 9369215), 'Eric McAllister' (IMO: 9707493), 'Crystal Coast' (MMSI: 367097970), 'Marine 1' (MMSI: 338307745), 'Treasure Coast' (IMO: 9448267), 'Sun Coast' (IMO: 8994453), the 'Baltco County Fire 268' (MMSI: 338087452), CG 'Mako' (MMSI: 366999602)#, 'Bcofd Mu269' (MMSI: 338395157) a.o. Also divers were involved in the response. Coast Guard units on scene included small boats from the Stations Annapolis and Curtis Bay and a helicopter from the Air Station Atlantic City. Multiple state and local agencies were assisting too. The current water temperature in Baltimore Harbour was between 9-10C. The Maryland Governor Wes Moore has declared a state of emergency. Sonar has detected the presence of vehicles submerged in the water. Two people have been rescued from the river, one was uninjured, and another was hospitalized in a very serious condition.
The shipping company Synergy Marine Group confirmed that nobody on board the 'Dali' was injured, and that all crew were present and accounted for. No company crew and personnel of Maersk were onboard the vessel, which is operated by the charter vessel company Synergy Group. Whilst the exact cause of the incident is yet to be determined, the 'Dali' has now mobilized its Qualified Individual Incident response service. The FBI launched an investigation.

Your standalone thread was killed, luckily I had clicked the link and watched the video. Solid breakdown of the events with GPS tracking times (somewhat) to the video.
