In all my research, this still strikes me as one of the "oddest" incidents. just imagine the strain on that huge bridge that it collapsed, even while the Engineers were working around the clock to strengthen it.....No less than 28 men lost their lives. Mind you, the Germans tried EVERYTHING to destroy it; Artillery, Bombers, divers with mines, etc...
Anyway, I won't hijack this thread any longer....
