Explosion rocks Kerch Bridge connecting Russia and Crimea, 3 dead: officials
Russian media reports the fire was caused after a fuel tank caught on fire

A truck exploded in the middle of the bridge connecting Crimea and Russia Saturday, killing three people, Russian officials confirmed.

The explosion ignited seven fuel tanks of a train also traveling on the Kerch bridge. Two of the victims, a man and a woman, have been pulled from the water below, Russia said.

The three victims were presumably passengers in the car next to the truck that exploded, according to Russia.

Authorities suspended travel on the bridge, according to Russia’s RIA state news agency. Ukrainian media outlets reported an explosion was heard around 6 a.m. local time, Reuters reported.

This screen capture shows the car bridge damage and in the background, the train tanker fire.

I'm a bit confused as to how the car bridge collapse ignited the train tanks at what looks to be 100-200 yards off?? :munching


UPDATE: A couple of new pics. It now looks like the truck was detonated with a large shape charge aimed at the train, possibly with RPG rockets in the load. You can see streaks of lighted mutations going toward the train but not in the other direction.<<< wrong The 4th pic shows a bridge span Tressel and that's not near where the bomb nor fire was

Tagged. 4th pic is interesting. Not knowing, I'd have thought there'd be more pavement scorching in 3rd pic.

4th pic is bogus, c update

It looks like the roadbed bridge was two separate East/West sections. The inspectors are standing on the section between the RR bridge and the road section that the truck exploded on.

This puts the explosion even further from the RR cars.

Whoever or whatever the cause was,, it's a fine example of the maximization of resources.
