@Memor-X From what I understand, when it imploded, the pressure that suddenly impacted the passengers would have instantly vaporized everyone inside into plasma.
Interesting. They didn't actually rebuild the bridge in 2 weeks, they filled it in:
> To get I-95 operating again as quickly as possible, workers used about 2,000 tons of lightweight glass nuggets to fill the underpass and bring it up to surface level, then paved over to create three lanes of travel in each direction. A permanent bridge will eventually be constructed.
@BradC Yeah, it's pretty cool (and entirely circumstantial, I suppose, that they were able to do this), they filled in the middle bit for three lanes each way, and now will rebuild the outer bits of the permanent bridge while the middle is open to traffic
Then once those are done they'll move traffic to the completed bridge sections, demolish the temporary fill, and rebuild the inner portions of the bridge
I originally was like "Wait you can build bridges like that?" but I guess thinking about how highway overpasses are constructed they're basically just repeated sections for each lane across the span, so I guess it works
