I thought the larger explosion on the left was the ship. It caught on fire after the crash.

I'm interested in what happened on the ship. Has any news reported how many people were on it and who the captain was? Wondering if the captain had some medical incident which led to the crash.

The bridge took over 4 years to build in the 1970s, so it won't be a quick repair job.

i think people in general, myself included, are just really really bad at judging the size scale of things outside of our immediate vicinity. the boat is more than 200 million pounds. the transfer of force at even a slow speed must be enormous.

It was more than just sparks though, they were fire balls about the size of a car (there's construction vehicles on the roadway right below one of the fireballs, and at one point the fireball looks even bigger than one of the trucks below it).

I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything but I'm just curious why these huge fireballs came shooting out of only those key (no pun intended) parts of the bridge.

The captain is from Ukraine. They said they lost total power and control of the ship.

Pb, i watched the legit video for the first time and i wouldnt say those were large explosions, but pausing a spark at the perfect time can certainly make it look like one.

We dont know how this bridge is powered but a high voltage discharge can cause all kinds of **** to happen, including explosions or nothing at all. Nothing here looks suspicious.

I can't think of a better place to place explosives if I want to bring down a bridge.

I do agree the definition of large is subjective, but these were about the size of a bus when it was at full flare-up. Sparks from a wire powering a flashing beacon's light bulb on top of the bridge can cause that? Hopefully the conspiracy theory nuts don't turn this into something different, just trying to give them the correct scientific answer on what could cause these bursts of flames through the metal to shut them up

It's obviously a clever distraction.

I'm fine being called a Truther.

It's better than its antonym.

Pick something you think I'm wrong about if you want. I doubt you even have a clue what I think about anything though.

That can go for anyone. I'll debate anyone on any topic I have a view on.
