Was it secretly planted in a Russian truck? Or was it a suicide mission?

(13,870 posts)The first story was the truck bomb, but I don't see the Ukrainians resorting to suicide bombers. I think it was more likely a special forces group planting a device under the bridge on a dark cloudy night.

(21,132 posts)The damage seems to be in a different location than the footage of the explosion--at least from my perspective of it. That may be explained by camera angle. I don't feel like I have a full picture of what happened and where to truly speculate.
