2. Could also be just a collapse

Sun Jul 16, 2023, 11:09 PM

Jul 2023

Some supports were seen with cracks, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/crimean-bridge-is-falling-down-cracks-appear-on-its-pillars-photos/ar-AA1bZyS8

It usually takes more than 8 months of exposure to sea water to get this stuff to fall under its own weight, and usually concrete falls off, it doesn't just show cracks and then fall all at once.

It allows Russia to deny that Ukraine can and will hit anything and everything in Crimea. Until they do.
