Talk:List of longest cable-stayed bridge spans

Puente La Amistad Costa Rica Taiwan
While the full lengths of this bridge is 780m, the cable-stayed longest span is only 260m so it's position in the list was changed to the proper position.

Definitive List of C-S bridges?
If anyone knows of a good list please include it on the page as a reference. I haven't found one that is up-to-date.
 * Start with the most up to date one you can find, and then search through structurea.de to find any more recent bridges. -- Samuel Wantman 07:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

People ON THE BRIGDE during the bombing: 9; all civilians (since the bridge was never used by the army, it was a civilian bridge); all were rescued.

Before and after, pictures taken from the same place: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=404185 (somewhere in the middle of the page, at the end of first post; search for: "Most Slobode")

The bridge was rebuilt in 2 years and 22 days, with the cost of approx. 40 million euros. Academic professor Nikola Hajdin said that the brigde had no strategic role, that it was a city bridge, and that NATO destroyed it for no reason whatsoever.

Another bridge by professor Nikola Hajdin: New Railway Bridge in Beograde http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Railway_Bridge_(Belgrade) - 1928 m long - THE FIRST CABLE-STAYED RAILWAY BRIDGE IN THE WORLD, oppened 1979.

More about world-famous scientist Nikola Hajdin, professor of University of Belgrade, can be found here (and need to be translated from Serbian to English): http://sr.wikipedia.org/sr-el/Никола_Хајдин

New Railway Bridge in Beograde is among the largest cable-stayed brigdes in the world; it should be mentioned at the appropriate page. Freedom Bridge in the city of Novi Sad is the only cable-stayed brigde built-destroyed-rebult in the world. It now looks the same as it was before NATO destroyed it.
