With the aid of footage provided by Coast Guard Administration surveillance cameras, investigators established the sequence of the bridge collapse, the board said. 11, the bridge and the arch above it were visibly shaking, with the bridge beginning to drop slightly at 9:30:02am. At 9:30:03am, the west end of the bridge slid down the pier, followed by the east end of the bridge. Inspection records showed that the county government inspected the bridge seven times between 2000 and 2016, but none listed suspension cables or the anchor heads as must-check items. The bridge has not been inspected since it was turned over to the bureau on April 28, 2016, investigators found.
