I suspect the trick is to make those sections "jump" and let gravity find the weak points in construction. They may also have just got lucky, because it seems likely to me (anyway) that the plan was to detonate that fuel train -- presumably running to a predictable schedule -- in a more spectacular fashion than actually happened.
I'm inclined to think it was a truck bomb because of the nature of the initial explosion. But at this stage we're all just having fun with speculation.
I don’t think the point was to destroy the bridg, that’s need multiple 1000lb bombs to do that. The main and longer lastage damage will be to Russian morale, Putins ego and to,cause even more fractures in the Russian govt*RUSSIAN TRANSPORT MINISTRY SAYS TRAINS CAN START USING CRIMEAN BRIDGE AGAIN - STATEMENT

Has Ukraine Developed Kamikaze Drone Boats To Attack Russia’s Navy?
A recent unmanned craft has experts wondering if Ukraine has developed a drone boat to attack Russia's Navy.www.coffeeordie.com
I wonder how "usable" the bridge really is, the Russkis have probably cable tied it back together.
Unless it was hit with several 1000lb bombs, fixing the bridge was always going to happen. I think the main point of the attack was to hit morale, Putins ego and Russian govt unityAt least they fixed the bridge so all those Russians wanting to leave Crimea can head back to the motherland.
Point is it’s repairable, unlike what I mentioned aboveWell it's not 'fixed' the other span is still 'usable' to some degree and the fact that they're only doing limited groups means they're going slow having to check everything much more closely. Even if they get that span working in either direction again it's still gone from 4 to 2 lanes along with a likely cargo limit on both it and the adjacent railway as overloading either would be much more embarrassing even if the frontline suffers.
Shoigu? (Or whatever his name is, has resigned?)So the Wagner guy that got arrested but seemingly not arrested enough is saying the Defense minister and Chief have 'resigned'.
Edit: Apparently poopy translation, it was planned (according to him) that they resign but delayed due to the bridge event.
Traffic isn't stopped
Not saying what the guy has said is true, but showing 1 street with moving traffic also proves nothing. Its a city 50% larger than London.
Yep, a few youtubers have had it happen to them recently.Been reading reports that youtube have been de-monetising all YT creators who have been covering the war, even those like Perun who went out of their way not to sensationalise or show tasteless content.
