Burning Railroad Bridge Collapses Like Dominoes

Second this week on a theme -- bridges being destroyed!! This fire in Texas was too high and hot to fight, so as the fire lit the creosote soaked railroad ties, it was only a matter of time before the collapse.

Stuff happens. It's great when cameras are rolling.

Back a few years ago a railroad bridge in Sharon Springs, KS burned along with the train that was stopped on it. http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/trainfire.asp

Wow! It did look a bit like dominoes falling.
