More than a minute after Joseph got into the Volkswagen that Valentin was picking up, the officers on duty at the bridge's security monitoring department noticed that a large truck had broken down on the bridge.
As the traffic congestion from west to east of the bridge and the queue became longer, the field staff were called and asked to send two people to see what was going on, to see if the car could be repaired quickly, and if a large trailer needed to be dispatched as soon as possible.
There is a ferry crossing on these two bridges in the strait, and congestion on any bridge is an important situation, and it must be solved as quickly as possible.
It stands to reason that the driver of the truck that would break down should use the phone hanging on the tower bridge to contact the rescue, but it is normal that he has not called for two or three minutes.
Almost every year, there are cases where cars break down on bridges, and there are even more traffic accidents. It's a bit abnormal not to call, there are emergency calls at intervals on the bridge, but there are always some drivers who want to solve the problem themselves, thus delaying the rescue time.
Every time the bridge management encounters a similar situation, they will scold their mother, but they are helpless: the tow truck is the fastest solution, but the top regulations stipulate that the tow truck will be charged, and it is not cheap, and the result is that the driver always wants to try to solve the problem himself first when the accident occurs.
The bridge is very long, and it is inconvenient for the duty officer on the west side to go in reverse, so it can only be checked by the people from the east by car.
And then...
Something jaw-dropping happened!
At the end of the time, the current activates more than 10 electric detonators distributed in the trunk and detonates at the same time!
Large detonators, these home-made ammonium nitrate explosives are relatively blunt, so you have to use big guys: the explosives are detonated by the detonator, and the chemical reaction is formed instantly!
The gas expanded, and nearly 20 tons of fertilizer mixed with explosives and incarnated explosives turned into a huge amount of gas and high heat in a very short time, expanding at a rate of more than 4,000 meters per second.
The six-axle truck almost became a molecular state in an instant, and the huge shock wave blew away a large number of vehicles queuing on the left, and the people in the nearby vehicles were directly evaporated under the dual action of high temperature and high pressure!
With an equivalent of more than 15 tons of TNT, the gas expands in a three-dimensional manner, and the spacious bridge deck is blown apart and blown away in a much shorter time than a blink of an eye, and the hanging steel cable breaks and collapses like a spring.
On the right side of the truck, the terrifying shock wave peeled off the outer layer of concrete of the bridge tower in a thousandth of a second, and the huge overpressure and high temperature continued to move forward, and the steel bars in the bridge tower were immediately stressed and bent, and the concrete around it was like half of the flour being blown away and turned into powder.
A tenth of a second later, cars within 100 meters of the truck's original location were either crushed into scrap discus or flew out halfway to the paper.
As time passed, all the people in the vehicle two or three hundred meters away were killed, and this would be only half a second after the detonator detonated!
The bridge slab was pierced, and the upscaling smoke was higher than the top of the tower bridge: in three seconds, Andre and the others, who were a kilometer away, felt the impact of the air flow on their faces while hearing a loud sound like thunder exploding in their ears.
At this time, the small half of the bridge was surrounded by gunsmoke, and I don't know what happened to the bridge tower.
"Get out of the car and see!"
Andrei gave an order, and now even Alexander, who was driving, opened the door to see the excitement: it was blown up like this, and it was not normal not to watch the excitement.
Sure enough, several exclamations were heard nearby!
Wait, wait...
"Crooked!"
The smoke has not yet dissipated, the top of the tower bridge can already be seen, the section on the north side seems to be a little crooked to the southeast side, the section of the bridge tower structure at the explosion point did not withstand the close-range explosion of 30 tons of explosives, although it has not been completely pierced, but it can no longer withstand the huge traction brought by the self-weight and steel cables and the bridge deck itself!
The pylons tilt to the southeast at a slow, visible speed, and the upper two beams of the gate-shaped structure are twisted by strong torsional forces, causing the concrete to break up with the internal reinforcement structure, and when it reaches its limit, the concrete shatters.
Like dominoes, the speed of concrete breaking is getting faster and faster, the internal steel mesh is broken and deformed, and the destruction is unstoppable!
Usually it is the huge main steel cable that pulls the terrifying weight of the bridge deck to maintain the balance of power.
Now the balance has been broken, and there are not many steel cables on the east side that have been pulled out of the claw anchors, but the main bridge deck of more than 1,000 meters is sagging towards the middle: they have lost their traction support points, the tower bridge falls to the southeast side, and the vertical steel cables on the west side are constantly collapsing out of the anchors with huge traction forces!
Someone appeared on the highway within a few tens of meters outside of Andre and the others, shouting their gods, and looking at the direction of the No. 2 bridge with all eyes.
For the people of Istanbul, this is nothing but shock and horror, and everyone can see that the bridge is about to collapse!
Andrey's side is a little far from the bridge, and he can see that the bridge is about to finish, but he can't see the situation at the head of the bridge: the bridge tower is built on land by the strait, and a large number of buildings are built on both sides of the bridge tower and within two or three hundred meters to the west, and there are many cars on the road.
On the side of the strait, there was still a small hillside, and the explosion was launched in a mass air wave, and the buildings within two or three hundred meters, not to mention the glass windows, even the walls were destroyed a lot by the shock wave!
Many buildings on both sides of the bridge have been blown up, and for them, the explosion is the top of Mount Tai, directly flattened and pressed!
There were also casualties on the sea near the European coast, and a small fishing boat was fishing less than 50 meters from the shore, and the boat was gone!
The whole of Istanbul was awakened by a huge explosion, and it is needless to say that it is within the radius of the bomb's destruction;
The people who found the explosion in the distance were either stunned or hysterical, and the people who only heard the explosion but could not see the explosion were running around to inquire about the situation, and the sound of telephone alarms almost paralyzed the Istanbul Police Station's receiving police center.
Not only are the people on the shore frightened, but there are also people in the strait who are hysterical!
A large cargo ship with a full load displacement of at least 50,000 tons is about to cross the sea under the bridge, the bow of the ship has already passed, but at least half of the hull is still on the north side of the bridge projection.
Every time a ship crosses the Bosphorus, it is a big event, everyone on board is on high alert, and the situation here is too complicated, not only the sea currents are chaotic and changeable, but there are also small boats coming out of the side at any time.
Especially when two large ships meet, complex currents can occasionally make it difficult for the ship to maneuver, and even lose control and crash into the shore.
The captain, first mate and others were all on the ship's floor, and they would not only be frightened by the explosion, but also see the huge bridge deck sagging down with those steel cables, and the cars on it smashing down like toys!
The bridge deck was crooked, and the captain, who was nearly fifty years old, was not in a daze for long, judging that the bridge would definitely not hold up.
At this time, he didn't think much about it, and shouted loudly in the cockpit: "Abandon the ship, abandon the ship!"
Run, run, run!"
The captain's face turned pale, he had already seen that it was impossible for his ship to cross the bridge, and he couldn't care where the out-of-control cargo ship would go, and the forty or so people on board had to flee for their lives!
