In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
In addition to Elon, I've seen a lot of other tech bros expressing concerns about the war and essentially advocating for appeasement because they, like Elon, thought about the issue for five minutes and now have some very valuable Thoughts™. Silicon Valley is basically Mos Eisley. Just full of the worst human beings (well, outside of actual war criminals, etc.), and it's only getting worse.
Silicon Valley is essentially a regional cult hub where people get given millions in venture capital to cos-play as steve jobs. The level of narcissism becoming so high that they not only believe they are deities but have the ability to put their deity "intellect" to any problem. The likes of Musk and tech-bro's actually having a policy say over geo-politics would've seen us in a nuclear exchange long ago.
Uh oh...
Seems a fuel car is on fire for unknown reasons.
Yeah, they need to keep their collective narcissistic personality disorder within the confines of Silicon Valley and stop spreading it elsewhere.. They're almost all some Ayn Rand John Galt weirdos who believe that their "expertise" in their field translates to every other field. With crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse crap, Silicon Valley is now like 90% scams instead of creating anything productive.
Whether this was intentional by the Ukrainians or some sheer dumb luck, it's very good news.

Has anyone seen any videos to confirm if it was a missile strike or a bomb? Or something else?

Can’t tell but it looks like the lorry was the bomb and blew up as the train was going past

Looks like the bridge has collapsed in two different places, this could indicate multiple detonations
Wow what a great news to wake up to. Happy birthday Putin.
Wouldn't a drone with a bomb on it be the easiest way to accomplish this?
It would take a massive drone to be able to carry the payload required to take out a bridge.
Depends who is blowing it up
Even those massive drones? I suppose those aren't for remote detonation, I can't say I'm very familiar with explosive weights.
Parts of that bridge don't look usable anymore.
Looks like they'll need to hit the rail bridge again to take it out more permanently.
Ukraine have been hammering the Antonovkiy bridge in Kherson With Himars rockets and artillery for a long time and although the bridge is heavily damaged it's still standing.
I don't know what amount of explosives is needed to cause the damage we are seeing here but I doubt any commercial drones would be able to carry the payload required.
Here we goooo! On his birthday

ATACMS would be the easiest way to accomplish this.
There have been rumours for a while that the Crimea bridge, like the Russian army, was shoddily built at the cheapest cost possible, and subject to large amounts of fraud and siphoning off of money. That said, I’d still agree that I would take a huge detonation to do that damage, and very likely needed to be in a specific weak point in the structure. All of which implies a planted explosive to me.
I thought they would try to destroy the rail bridge without destroying the car bridge, to stop war supplies from coming in while allowing people and soldiers to flee. Russia moves all its supplies by rail, so taking it out would be effective.
But it looks more like they went after the car bridge, and the rail bridge is more incidental. I can only assume they’re going to go after both.

Shouldn’t joke about something so serious, but the first thing that came to mind:
Unconfirmed video. Sound like incoming fire?
Light posts are identical.

This is reassuring, I was starting to think Putin had managed to buy the 2nd richest man alive.
Maybe a crappy camera? I did notice the color difference.
I think at this point it’s more of a psychological attack to seed the panic among Russian troops and collaborators further in the Kherson/Crimea/Zaporyzhia.
I see photos of the sunrise while it burns, so I think this is it, has the arches too.
Its a big explosion(s?) but consistent with the detonations at sake airbase that were confirmed to be missiles. It was speculated those hit ammo dumps but I'd wager Ukraine has something long range that packs a punch.
