Seems a container ship hit it. Many working on the bridge at night are in the water.

I just saw a video short of it on FB.

If one didn't read the caption it looks like a controlled take down of the bridge.

The whole thing is in the water.

Chinese ship, so maybe?

How busy is that bridge this time of day?

Been about 12 or 14 years since I was on it. Looked rickety then. Anybody in or near ST Louis I keep expecting the I70 bridge to fall apart. I see The I55 bridge at Memphis is open again. IMO the I70 bridge at St Louis is in worse shape. I quit crossing it.

You can see about the center of the bridge flashing lights on vehicles, probably the workers.

Just saw a longer video posted by Andy Ngo on Twitter. Theres a half dozen or so vehicles that cross the bridge just prior to the strike. The ship looks like it turned too soon as it wasnt driving straight at the bridge. I would wonder if it was a autopilot/autonav error.

Ship was probably being operated by a local harbor pilot...
