This guy is just awesome in his understanding of stress, degins, and has a really good, data driven explanation for what happened. If only the government could function as good as he has. A convincing narrative, that also points out the biggest flaw in the whole event: Why didn't they close the road?

That is the first video, he then provides a super detailed, but clear, analysis of exactly what happened and why:

Very impressive job this guy does.

    I liked this guys way of explaining it, now it will take NTSB a years to make up their minds, and then it will all go under the rug....He makes a convincing case for negligence, just in the fact they were whacking on the bridge and never closed the road, meaning the city was also complicit. The lawsuits will be huge in this one.
