1. There wasn't any weight on the beam--

it had recently been set, and no concrete was on it as yet. It just seemed, inexplicably, to bend in the middle until the ends came out of the pilings it was set in and it crashed down. The Samaritan called to report the bending (it was a bridge engineer who called and he thought the girder looked odd.)

I'm putting this one in the X files.
