    97,000 tons moving at just 3mph would be sooo much force. I’m not sure what type of bomb it would be equivalent to but I don’t see much stopping that.

      I’m coming up with 1000lbs of TNT. I have no idea what I’m doing though and the conversions are apparently controversial.

        You can hit the standard bridge with 19, 19 hand high horses with a standard 15 meter trebuchet; assuming all shots are places back to back in under 7 minutes.

        If it is built to withstand such a horse thumping, it is given an A rating by the Bridge Association of America. (BAA)

        Some of this may be controversial though.
