"This is a serious working hypothesis, but after three days it is only a hypothesis," said Professor of Reinforced Concrete at the University of Genoa, Antonio Brencich. <br /><br /></span></em></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><em><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Brencich belongs to an accident commission set up by the Ministry of Transport. There are testimonies and videos pointing to this statement, he said, according to the Italian news agency Ansa. On the other hand, he excluded overloading the bridge as a reason. "The rain, the thunder, the overload are imaginative hypotheses that are not even considered."</span></em></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The experts hope that the traffic cameras bring further insight.<br />Regards, Volker</span></div>
