What the hell else would you call it ?

They're lucky it didn't fall on a steel pier. Those cars easily weigh 60+ kips, assuming they are unloaded... Loaded like 280+. A lot of bridges aren't meant to handle that sort of lateral load.

A friend who works on tugs on the river posted a pic of his wind gauge registering 115 mph in that area.

It fell off the approach.

Anyone heard anything about the stages at Jazz Fest? If it was strong enough to blow a train off a bridge, they probably didn't stand a chance.

Someone at the Cane's in Elmwood got video of the cars tipping and the containers falling from the bridge. The wife just texted me the video from TV.

That was awesome! (if no one was hurt, of course). Cameraman was johnny on the spot with that turnaround.

How in the hell did he stay quiet through that? If that was video from my truck you would have heard "Holy frick!" and probably "that was awesome".
