The report explains: "The fracture form is identified as block shear failure between the wooden part and steel/dowels at the junction. This is a momentary form of failure that can cause overloading of other elements in the truss upon subsequent loading, and then with the collapse of the bridge as a result./
He said the element of the bridge he suspected most is one of the connections in the steel truss, above a support column. "This happens to be steel, but this also doesn’t mean that the wood wasn’t also somehow involved,"
Should really see what the Hutchison Effect can do to steel. With that in mind, that realization has given me pause on whether id actually want a Cybertruck with its EM shielding steel exoskeleton.
The point is, steel can spontaneously fracture due to a combination of electromagnetic sources. It can even spontaneously combust. This can happen anywhere in the world and as the above shows it doesnt just happen in third world countries.
But keep dismissing this like people do Teslas going off down the road mowing people down. Its only going to get worse. At some point people will have to pull their heads out the sand.
