The post you linked has been removed and the thread repeatedly debunked this claim. It's an old video that pre-dates the incident.

It's more relevant to point out the shoddy construction and failure to control number of persons on the bridge than to blame those who drowned. If a bridge collapse because a few people jumped and shook the wires it wasn't sturdy to begin with. Why are you and your friends at the sub you linked not holding the govt accountable? Wasn't it repaired four days ago? Why instead are you showing an old pre-repair video and trying to pass it off as the cause?

Stop spreading fake news.

The above video is 4-years old, being recirculated on twitter and broadcast live on TV to try and deflect the blame from the government.

There is vegetation in this old video but today, there was no vegetation, only water in the river. Also this video is during daylight while the bridge collapsed at night.

Link to the 4-year old video on youtube:

Are you spreading lies on purpose, or were you fooled?

I'm speechless wondering how this could have happened.
