Hmm, could work....
I like the idea of sinking it and using the water to transmit the expplosive force into the pilings. Still a big, difficult job though...
As for the one man dropping the bridge, how well built was they? Was it a modern, highly engineered structure such as we're discussing here?
Or little more than logs or hastily contructed temporary spans (eg a bailey bridge)?
Just because somethings capable of supporting a WWII tank (not a lot of weight really compared to modern days AFVs) doesn't mean it's anything like a modern autobahn bridge intended to support maybe a hundred times that weight.
Yes, Col Ripley may have been exceedingly brave and pulled off a very difficult task, but I don't feel it's really comparable.
