Wow! I've never seen or even heard of anything like that. I wonder why they didn't close off the highway under it. Or maybe it had just happened.

Couldn't be real. Never in history has fire melted steel.

What you did there, I see it.

I looked this up because it's kind of cool in a weird way. Turns out, they were just building the bridge, and the wooden substructure caught fire - probably from a random acetylene torch. Still pretty impressive.

reminds me of 2002 when a tanker accident under malfunction junction in bham destroyed that bridge. Can't find pictures of it while it was burning, but here is the aftermath.
