That is on SIT to come up with with its findings.

This was meant to happen no doubt about that. Amount of steel and diameter of the suspender cables should be more on Cable Suspended Bridges as the tension forces are more at the centre. SIT also has to find out the flaws in the construction.

Yes, what I meant was this may be the reason behind the collapse on that fateful day. Vigorous shaking of the bridge's suspension cables by the dimwits were always present from the start and this may have led to the said Physical phenomenas leading to the collapse.

And this is how the factors that I mentioned in my post were set in motion.

Dang....Physics won at last.

Mechanical Resonance, Structural Vibration along with exceeding maximum capacity of public on the bridge might have led to the bridge collapse. Don't know about the wind speed prevailing at that moment though, it can be a factor too, as moderate wind speed produces Aerostatic Flutter.

I have personally seen two-wheelers crossing this suspension bridge. Don't know whether it is allowed or not.

Just today me and @Anirbann Datta were discussing the phenomenon of Resonance.
