invented by the Russki's. An examination of the footage at the time of explosion is much more indicative of a device external to the bridge roadway.

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.

Speculation elsewhere here that they were aiming for the RR trestle and hit the road instead.

How about first we nail down that it was a truck bomb.

They've been scanning trucks before letting them across that bridge for a while.

and dislodged the sections of the roadway. Some say it was timed to explode when the fuel train was in close proximity... More will be revealed I guess...

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.
