That also kept the span that fell above water so those cars were not submerged (unless they fell off in the fall).
Fox news just inverviewed a structural engineer involved in many things like this and he said he has never seen an entire bridge fail and fall before. He said it is usually just one part.

Right! That is what made this so bizarre...the entire span fell.
