I heard last night that the 5/14 bridge is estimated to have been deflected by 10 feet before it failed. I think they said it was a vertical deflection, and that the big problem with this quake was that -- coming as it did from an unknown thrust fault -- produced larger vertical stesses than anyone expected. Is this accurate? -- J. A.
