talian television showed images of the collapsed bridge, which was built on the A10 toll motorway in the 1960s. Restructuring work on the bridge was carried out in 2016.

The pictures are helpful.
Close up of collapsed section:
This is the best view of the collapsed section:
This is the bridge intact. The part that collapsed is the section to the left-- see the small building NEXT TO the collapsed section in the first picture as reference:

It looks like the two main pillars (struts?) are gone. How the heck did that happen? How could that happen?

‘The missing section is dozens of metres in length.
The bridge has been closed to traffic.’
Gee pretty obvious the bridge is closed to traffic for a long long time.

It could just be poor maintenance or faulty engineering but, I’m blaming Muslims until proven otherwise.
It was sabotaged by jihadi’s. They planted bombs. If that turns out not to be true I will retract my statement.
When a bridge fails it seems to me that it would not fail in such a catastrophic manner. One end or the other but not he length of the span. The center pylons everything is gone. It looks, to my untrained eye that it was blown up

Looks like it. Center tower is demolished. I doubt that occurred without intent.

There appear to be a couple quick flashes at the beginning of the video.
To: Fai Mao

Probably over the next few hours we’ll start seeing videos. You have to think that for something that big, SOMEBODY would have whipped out his cell phone and started recording.

Power lines perhaps? Causing the flashing at beginning of video? Hard to see...

Some of the span is already gone at that point, electric wires/transformer?

There appear to be a couple quick flashes at the beginning of the video. Yep. Doesn't look like a normal structural failure.
