    There is a saying in engineering.

    Anyone can build a bridge.

    It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.

    “I just don’t see how the whole bridge falls over that fast”

    What the hell are people debating here? A 150.000 tonne object crashed into a structure made of thin sticks (comparatively speaking). There is no doubt that the bridge would collapse. Especially since an arch is only stable if it is undamaged.
