What I'm trying to get at here is that I get frustrated that even people who more or less know what is going, and/or are pro Russia/Putin, make Putin's work needlessly hard and put up road blocks unnecessary with sentiments like this.
I think that what Laura posted about “war being an extension of politics“ is central in this. Basically, Putin could not start mobilization until there was a broad consensus in Russia that much more needs to be done in Ukraine. So in a sense, he may have been waiting for people to become dissatisfied with how things are going in Ukraine, so that the next step he takes has full backing from the people in Russia.
 
Some speculation from Moon of Alabama that the explosion came from below. (The water video is particularly interesting)

"I really don't buy "the truck did it". I can understand why this story is being promoted as it offers an easy fix - better inspections - rather than a total system failure."

"But - watch where the blast comes from (go frame by frame). It certainly appears to be below and to the right of the road bridge. The blast wave comes from the right and travels to the left, almost enveloping the road - It is most definitely NOT centred on the truck. As others have also observed - the surface damage to the road seems inconsistent with a roadside explosion of such magnitude."

This is a better video of the Truck and the "something" moving in the water underneath the bridge. Both, in the video at the same time.

WOW! Russians are too fast to figure out the exact details. ( twitter english translation of the above tweet)

"Ukraine held talks with Britain for destruction of Crimean bridge"​


"Ukraine held talks with British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace on a plan to destroy the Crimean Bridge at the NATO summit in June, Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko said."

"The parliamentarian drew attention to the statement of expert Igor Korotchenko, who said on the air of the Rossiya 1 TV channel that, according to some information, the plan for striking the bridge was allegedly being developed under the personal supervision of the head of the British military department."

“Ben Wallace and I discussed the plan to destroy the Crimean bridge back in June,” Goncharenko wrote, posting a photo from the talks, which, in addition to him and the head of the British Ministry of Defense, shows British Prime Minister Boris Johnson."

"In July, Aleksey Arestovich, an adviser to the head of Vladimir Zelensky’s office, said that Ukraine could attack the Crimean Bridge as soon as the first technical opportunity appeared."

Yesterday I spoke to a Russian colleague again (formally living in Kazakhstan) and she expressed once again how she didn't quite understand why Putin doesn't do the "Iraq" or "Afghanistan" routine of bombing everything hard and fast (thus avoiding suffering, she explained, because of a quick death). She also expressed the idea that is going around Russian circles that Putin might be undermined and/or manipulated by people in his entourage or "in the shadow" which could explain "why he is doing what he is doing". When I suggested to her that Putin and co might have already started to plan for what is going on now +- 20 years ago, and, once again, that he is doing it the way he is doing probably partly to avoid unnecessary deaths and suffering of civilians and soldiers, she didn't quite understand that either. When I told her that Putin might have bigger plans/considerations, that he has to work with and take into consideration, she didn't quite understand that either, and said to me, that that is all fine and good, but try to explain that to a woman who has lost her son, that "this is because of a plan". I also tried to suggest to her, when she made the comment, that went something like "why doesn't Putin do it like the west would do it, when the west obviously doesn't care at all about upholding the principles he tries to stand by", that Putin tries to uphold and be guided by some fundamental and higher principles that at least one leader/country in the world should stand by and reinforce, while nobody else does it. Therefore, I essentially tried to tell her that Putin is doing what he is doing and in the way he is doing it "because it is the right thing to do" and somebody "has to do the right thing on the global stage when everybody else doesn't do it". She didn't quite understand that either.

What I'm trying to get at here is that I get frustrated that even people who more or less know what is going, and/or are pro Russia/Putin, make Putin's work needlessly hard and put up road blocks unnecessary with sentiments like this.
Did you observe she is sympathetic to the person died in explosion but NOT to the potential deaths in Ukraine ( If Putin behaves recklessly). Some people are like that and they want instant gratification. They can't think beyond simple terms - us vs them. Whether it is emotional hijack ( of the specific situation) or like that by nature is hard to say with out more data.
 
It looks staged to me. For starters, the camera starts rolling before the tank appears on the screen. Were they expecting the dramatic scene that followed?

I keep seeing on Twitter pro-ukronazi/NATO accounts (trolls and obvious sock-puppet accounts, a lot of them) cheering that Russia is being defeated and that they are winning, etc. I think the answer is very simple. When they called for the mobilization, it was said that the whole involvement of the new forces would take two months. Russia doesn't care what people think in the West. They have a plan and they are going to stick to it. So they will wait until they have optimal conditions and then proceed with whatever they have in mind that required such mobilization, and I don't think it's groing to be pretty.

Meanwhile, someone is trying to force Russia's hand with the North Stream and the Crimea Bridge terror attacks. Or so it seems to me.

Added: Remember how Napoleon was lured deep into Russian territory unchallenged, even finding abandoned cities? Then winter came and Napoleon lost his army. I don't know if Russia is waiting for winter or its full forces this time, but I'm sure they have a plan and we'll see it unfold within 2 months at most.
I agree, I don't think Russia has a problem with 'instant gratification'. Putin has been figuring the world and its leaders out for many decades.
 
Automobile traffic on the Crimean Bridge resumed at 16.00 (По Крымскому мосту пустили легковушки и автобусы ) - so far in one direction, and only for cars and buses. Cargo ships will go by ferries for the time being, for the period of repair.
It became interesting why it happened, because the morning pictures looked like a local apocalypse and the whole telegram feed was shitting with horror.

And the solution turned out to be simple: someone smart at the project stage provided for the installation of two separate sliding lashes, which rely on a single monolithic 12-pile structure, but also separately. That is, in case of undermining of one whip, the second one remains intact according to the power elements. So an engineer unknown to us should be given a medal "For saving the logistics of the Crimea" or "For the technological stability of a strategic structure." A pile monolith can probably be taken only by a nuclear explosion, but the more fragile lashes turned out to be independent of each other. And traffic on the second of them resumed almost immediately.

Автомобильное движение по Крымскому мосту возобновили в 16.00 (По Крымскому мосту пустили легковушки и автобусы) - пока в одну сторону, и только для легковых и автобусов. Грузовые пока пойдут паромами, на период ремонта.
Стало интересно, за счёт чего так получилось, ведь утренние снимки смотрелись как локальный апокалипсис и вся телеграм-лента сралась от ужаса.

А разгадка оказалась проста: кто-то умный ещё на этапе проекта предусмотрел монтаж двух раздельных надвижных плетей, которые опираются на единую монолитную 12-свайную конструкцию, но тоже раздельно. То есть, в случае подрыва одной плети вторая остаётся в целости и сохранности по силовым элементам. Так что неизвестному нам инженеру надо давать медаль "За спасение логистики Крыма" или "За технологическую устойчивость стратегического сооружения". Свайный монолит, наверное, можно взять только ядерным взрывом, а вот более хрупкие плети оказались независимы друг от друга. И движение по второй из них возобновилось почти немедленно.

Putin signs decree on tightening security measures for Crimea bridge

According to the decree, this is done to enhance the efficiency of protection measures for the transport crossing, the energy bridge and the gas pipeline across the Kerch Strait
MOSCOW, October 8. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on enhancing security measures for the Crimea bridge as well as for the energy bridge and the gas pipeline connecting the peninsula with mainland Russia, the Kremlin said in a statement on Saturday.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation shall be vested with the authority to organize and coordinate protection measures for the Kerch Strait transport crossing, the power grid’s energy bridge between the Russian Federation and the Crimean Peninsula, along with the main gas pipeline between the Krasnodar Region and Crimea, during their operation," the document says.

According to the decree, this is done to enhance the efficiency of protection measures for the transport crossing, the energy bridge and the gas pipeline across the Kerch Strait.

The Russian government is commissioned to update their executive orders in accordance with the decree, which entered into force on the day it was signed.


On Saturday morning, a truck exploded on the Crimea bridge, setting fuel tanks of a passing-by freight train ablaze. Three people were killed and two sections of the bridge’s road part collapsed. The part of the bridge connecting Crimea with the Krasnodar Region was not reportedly damaged. The traffic on the bridge was completely stopped, but after 04.00 p.m. Moscow time it was partly reopened for buses and automobiles. The first test run on the rails came off successfully. A government commission chaired by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin was set up after the accident.
