Photo of Kerch Bridge aka #CrimeanBridge this morning with fire still burning on train. Can see 3 broken parts to bridge but only on one lane. Burn marks on left roadway suggest point of main detonation/strike. Will give some observations

Look at undamaged roadway. It has clear burn marks next to middle section of broken roadway. Suggests that middle breach to bridge was main explosion. Is consistent with burning train which would have gone in this photo from left to right, and stopped 
There was speculation of under-bridge explosion (commandos, or covert boat). The way the roadway bends down into the water at middle broken section does not suggest under-bridge explosion, but rather above-bridge explosion detonating downward. That would produce a bend to surface
It would seem middle section is broken in half. The rightmost broken section is off the right pilar, & goes into water. Leftmost breach is just tumbled off the pillar but did not twist away. If you imagine lifting the left middle part upwards, then left end could pop like that
This could be one explosion/detonation. If was second strike, possible the train caught that (missile, projectile). Damage to roadway suggests very powerful 'bridge destroyer' munition in class of 2,000 lb (1,000 kg) warhead/bomb/suicide drone or if on truck bed much more than it
The train is a bit of a mystery. It seems to have stopped incredibly abruptly. Maybe was knocked off tracks but even then, seems quite sudden stop. Trains tend to run long after even emergency brakes. Maybe train ran slow at this point or was behind explosion & trying to stop
