I think they use bridge demolition all the time to send the comms. Just think about it. Any large bridge that needs large scale repairs is a candidate. It's gonna disrupt traffic and make travelers angry. So why not take the heat off by giving them something else to worry about? Hire some actors and make it look like an accident or worse. Then proceed with the already scheduled repairs. You can arrange all the news stories to send comms and make some bucks thru the back door.
Yes. They got a lotta comms mileage outta that one. The Mi-anus river bridge collapse also seems fishy in retrospect. Note how they used a photo from 7/17.
No offense, but that's an absurd form of comms, because bridges do on occasion collapse for accidental reasons. And think of the absurdity of having to have a giant secret codebook about what each bridge means and then based on what message you want to send have to go do something to it. Far easier to use one of those shortwave radio numbers stations. Or a post on Craigslist?
It's ok if you prefer not to see it, or aren't ready. We were all there at one point.
They do use Craigslist, but it doesn't reach as wide an audience as front page "news". I don't know about shortwave number stations. Probably compromised. Bridge comms are likely reserved for the big stuff where the amount of (ill gotten) money required to fund it is a fair trade off for the important messages.
Whose front page news? Print edition? Web edition? Which bridges? Do you think every event involving a bridge in China is making the New York Times? Absurd.

Remember the bridge that collapsed in Pittsburgh right before Biden showed up?

Yes, that is absurd. But I didn't say every, just large bridges. Like this one.
