It’s been a bad couple of months for a Tennessee bridge. A stretch of I-65 in Williamson County was severely damaged when a tanker truck collided with a bridge support last month and exploded. Officials saw the explosion as a death sentence for the bridge, and delivered the coup de grace this weekend by blowing up the entire bridge, ABC’s Nashville affiliate reports.
This video, taken by a bystander, shows the explosion of the bridge Saturday morning. It happens quickly and with a massive explosion, and it’s very impressive. Scroll to about 3:20 for the boom.
