Yeah I agree looking at this video trains are not going to be running anytime soon

I also doubt anyone will drive a 5t truck or tank over the remaining bridge

Regarding the rail section, it does look very precarious. Any structural engineer would be against starting up this service any time soon.
I am curious as to how they would remove the carriages when the soundness of the structure is unknown. I could only see a air lift if the carriages are not able to move via the track.

And now allegedly a train with passengers, the PR offensive is on.

Additionally, why was the train stationery. Surely, the train would have continued on its trajectory? I can not see any reason for why the train has stopped adjacent to the explosion. If it was moving, it would have either derailed or carried on its course. For it to be still and for its cargo (allegedly) being fuel, it has many ‘coincidences’.

And here’s someone alledging it was ATACMS, but that both Ukraine and Russia find the truck explanation convenient.

This is way out of my league, so I’m curious of what you people make out if this.

Although construction based I am no expert in spans. My only sure knowledge is that the value of gravity is 9.81.
So, from my untrained eye it looks like there are two sources of espionage, If there was only one the fall of the carriageway would (surely) be different. So in my opinion it is not from a van loaded with explosives it is from controlled explosives from underneath the bridge span.

I am not competent enough to speculate. Norwegian expert thinks it must have been shaped charges, large scale explosives, underneath the bridge on several locations and doubts a missile could have torn the bridge off. artillery guy Thomas thinks its missiles, I don’t know.

But I do know it was no accident and that we eventually, perhaps weeks or months from now, will get to know.

Technically, I guess this breaks the Geneva Convention, but I am not the one releasing his phone pics and face, so let’s pretend I am a newspaper instead :wink:

I don’t know if this a cultural thing or not.
