Most of these bridges still stand today or have been replaced or upgraded with newer structures over 75 years on.

One of the post explosion videos showed a rather large vertical crack and significant corrosion runoff seeping from it on the Crimea end of the damaged section. Fairly far off from the explosion. On the train bridge, enough heat penetrated the concrete to cause damage via the expansion of the rebar. It’s possible that enough heat penetrated the concrete to cause weakening of the structural steal of the support column that was directly under one of the burning fuel tankers, as video showed the high wind was blowing the wind under and around said column. They’ll be able to use it, but they probably won’t be able to send shipments of tanks over the rail bridge.

Not avoiding the "political" side (aka being a decent human) is what made this video 1000 times better. Excellent job, Simon.

Great content keep it up

there was a powered barge-like device UNDER the bridge. SubBrief channel has the actual video.

Artur Rehi, the guy who is an Estonian reservist that has been reporting on things concerning the war in Ukraine, had reported on the bridge six months ago (see his video, "Who blew up the Crimean bridge?"). 50 seconds into his video, he has some comments that he reads (and shows them on screen) that gives a a far better explanation on how the bridge could be destroyed.

Great backstory of the bridge ... good to know!

A point of challenge for Ukraine is deploying the required explosive power to the bridge to meaningfully damage it. HIMARS missiles, while terrifyingly accurate and with exceptional range, would do little more than blow a pothole in the thing. Maybe Neptune AS missiles could do it, but getting them into range and impact without being intercepted would be a significant challenge

Ukraine can use naval drones do damage or destroy one of the pylons, if I'm not mistaken one such drone has around 250 kg of explosive charge. Using them with some decoy drones can overwhelm any defense system. And considering those drones were already spotted in Sevastopol, as soon as Ukraine retakes the coast of the sea of Azov it will be able to launch them directly to the bridge.

Marvellous video thanks.

Good video. It covers a vast chunk of history about Crimea. But one thing is needed to be add here - as a preparation to invasion to Crimea in 2014 there was a smaller act of aggression from Russia in 2003 known as Tuzla Island conflict. Russia one day just began construction on a dam from the Taman Peninsula towards Tuzla island which still officially belongs to Ukraine. There were some tensions between our countries, but all was resolved between our pro-russian president Kuchma and Putin. As a result, Tuzla defacto came under Russia's control. This was Ukraine's first concession of its sovereignty, and a signal to all smart people that it wouldn't be the last. Right after that, in 2004, there was an invasion of Georgia, and even more people in Ukraine started to belive that we are the next. And that did happen in 2014. I belive that Tuzla event was a probe of Ukraine's possible response. And after Putin saw that there almost nothing he finally desided to invade Crimea at the moment of greatest instability in Ukraine. And ones againe our government responed nothing. So Putin desided to do such a trick again, but with almost all Ukraine and failed, because Ukraine society have changed from 2014.

Thank you.

It was actualy more then on drone ship, I feel bad for the trucker who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Among the dead on the Crimean Bridge was a married couple from St. Petersburg, Mash reports. 33-year-old Zoya and 53-year-old Eduard were driving a Cadillac over the bridge at the time of the truck explosion. The couple reportedly had a historical education, were well-known guides in St. Petersburg. Zoya and Eduard were seriously interested in history, led a family KZread channel Hedgehog ("Hedgehog TV") about history. They told the audience about the Romanov dynasty, filmed and edited documentaries. Read the new details: The truck that blew up the Crimean Bridge could have been "charged" with a bomb at a service station.

A most expensive temporary bridge 😀

It wasn't a truck bomb, you have the footage in this video 14:05, you can see the explosion comes from the right of the road, step through the frames and you can see the truck is still intact during the initial flash of light.

Ah I see, my bad. But it’s hard to tell, 15:50 shows a few seconds before the blast. It would be hard to say for sure where the blast came from with this quality of recording. Could’ve just as well been too far ahead to see. As he said it stopped, and the one in the video kept moving as the explosion went off.

Part two for this video will be interesting!

A himars rocket could only wipe some paint off. And it was not a car bomb. The blast came from below.

Excellent story!!! Intersection of military history and engineering! So interesting!

Simon was telling you a fairy-tale version of the story.

it’s heartwarming to see someone like you take a clear position on the criminal russian regime. Italy instead is full of Putin’s supporters and that is unforgivable. No wonder fascism was born here.

Very well said !

Thanks

Simon, you do good videos. I don't always agree with everything you had to say and we don't see eye-to-eye at all times but I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Great story on infrastructure and great way to tie it into the world we live in today. I'm looking forward to next video.

He has an anti-Russian, anti-soviet bias at absurdly levels, to the point that I think that there is a personal grudge behind all that. Every Soviet innovation is to be mocked or snickered, I guess because ‘’stupid Slav commies”, off course now Ukraine is excluded from that despite them being the no 2 SSR in the Soviet Union and had an active role in every policy.

@@andrewday3206 some were flawed some they were not and there is no such things as a flawless political system. I’m talking about the glee displayed when presenting Russian and Soviet projects. By the same standards UK contributed nothing in engineering past the 50’s and many projects were also flawed. I didn’t see Simon reacting in the same way. The man has an axe to grind.
