Yep, they were in the middle by the looks of it with their orange flashing lights on the trucks. They were probably filling potholes and didn't even realize what was going on until it was too late. They literally closed the bridge about 20 seconds before it fell as you can see a truck going over and then no cars either way and then 20 seconds later it falls. Those flashes could have been power lines snapping as well if they were running across the bridge.

Does it take a god damn pig farmer to come up with the idea of an emergency anchor system. Mash a ****ing button and drop 4 anchors the size of a house! Geez!

I thought you were going to recommend tying a bunch of giant pigs to the side of the ship as bumpers.

It would still take at least 3 miles.

You don't know that. You're guessing. Anyway all it takes is for one anchor to snag a tree root and BAM! STOPPED!

I know that a ship traveling at 16 knots takes about 6 miles, so you are correct.

But it's still an educated guess.

That ship is bigger than an aircraft carrier with who knows the weight of the cargo. It was at 8 knots a Navy guy said it takes 5 miles to stop a carrier at the speed.
