I think the big ass-truck, with a HUGE load caused the collapsing...

Look at all those wheels on what i can only guess are trailers ?? With 30-50+ wheels ??!! WTF were they hauling, how many were there and was it within weight ratings for that bridge?? Does not look like any trailers on US highways .

Bridge doesn't look particularly old. I guess they build their bridges like they build everything else.

I'd be worried if our bridges were built by the Chinese.

Well, except for this one...

A lot of bridges in the USA are on their way out. They were built with good quality but still with a life span. Thing is it costs money to update them.
