Failure Mode

On: Was The Florida Pedestrian Bridge Collapse Triggered By Post-Tensioning? (enr.com)

I have been looking for a slow motion video of the failure to see where the first break was and the progression of the failure. Also was the bridge subject to a any loading at the time. The best I can tell is that left side failed away from the left end and might have been a shear failure. Concrete is generally stronger in compression in static loading than either tension or shear.
