I find it completely conceivable AAA - for several of the reasons that you mention. This was not just a single section that dropped. I'm still not sure that they won't find something sabatoge related, but I'll just keep listening.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Is it so inconceivable that terrorists might have had a hand in a major bridge collapsing at rush hour with traffic stopped on it from end to end? Witnesses described hearing a loud boom, followed by the collapse. I understand the govenment had rated it as structurally deficient but they allowed it to be used and apparently a huge number of older bridges are so rated. What I found odd was that it collapsed from one end to the other. I could understand one section collapsing, but every single section of this thing went down. It is a rather long bridge but most of it is over land. It was built on trusses, so it was not a suspension bridge. I could see a catostrophic failure of a suspension bridge causing the entire span to go down, but this bridge was built in sections.
What I fear now is a govenrment coverup similar to the one they did after that TWA flight blew up leaving JFK and multiple witnesses reported seeing a missile trail tracking it.
