America’s infrastructure is indisputably failing. Beans are indisputably “having a moment.” And these two realities recently converged when a bridge in North Dakota collapsed under the mighty and awe-inspiring weight of—yes—beans. NBC News reports that the Northwood Bridge, which was on the National Registry of Historic Places, met its demise on Monday when a truck filled with dry beans attempted to cross, only to send the structure splintering into the Goose River below.

Here, I answer all your questions about the bridge bean collapse.

How big was the bridge?

Fifty-six feet long.

How big were the beans?

There were 49,820 pounds of dry beans in the truck, which weighed a total of 84,560 pounds, or 42 tons. The bridge only had the capacity to support 14 tons of weight.

How many beans were in the truck?

Functioning under the assumption that the beans were pinto and using the only information I could find when I frantically Googled “How much does a single bean weigh?” (and not for the first, or last, time) let’s say that one single bean weighs .35 grams, or 0.000771618 pounds. That would mean the truck contained 64,565,627 beans, a quantity of beans that is both soothing for my mind to imagine and probably incorrect.

What will happen to the bridge?

Repairs are estimated to cost up to $1 million.

What will happen to the beans?

It’s unclear at this time. The driver, who survived unscathed, was fined $11,400 for overloading his truck (with beans). The public demands that the beans be released immediately.

Can you roll that beautiful bean footage?

If by "beautiful bean footage" you mean "photos of the crushing damage inflicted by beans," then yes, here you go.

Beans?

Beans.
