RE: Bridge collapse in Minnesota

I was thinking the same thing, but it is unclear from the video which side
of the river the camera was on (I believe it mentions North side) and I am
not familiar enough with area to know if the North side was the side with
the train or not. You cannot see the train in the video.

I cannot see the video from my location but from the still photos I would
guess the collapse stated where the train passes under it, is that the right
side?

the support/pier that was just off camera to the right. Look like it
dropped pretty much straight down but starting on the right side (in the
video). It will be interesting to learn what the investigation teams come
up with.

CNN has a video showing the bridge collaspe from a security camera on
the north side.
