"Houndeye Bridge" in Unforseen Consequences can be saved

As the title says, the bridge (after the Akria-Elevator) that is supposed to collapse after the houndeye sets of his shockwave apparently can be saved.
I specifically tried to do this, so I rushed towards the bridge and tried to shoot the Houndeye right away. I hit it, but it still managed to set of a shockwave, which did kill the guard, but did not blow up the TNT crates, oddly. So I killed the houndeye with the Glock and the bridge was still intact. But I couldn’t cross it, there was an invisible wall half-way on the bridge. So I climbed the pipes and jumped right down to the bridge which triggered the transition. After the loading screen, I turned around and THEN the bridge started to collapse, but the crates and the forklift just stood there in mid-air. I shot the crates and when they exploded the forklift fell down, too (iirc). I attached some screens. If need be I’ll attach the getpos and status. I only tried this once, so far.

This is interesting.

At first i thought that the Devs wanted to make it possible for one to stop the Houndeye,
so you can cross the bridge, but an invisible wall?

That’s weird.

Because i remember posting, what i thought was a bug,
a bug at he big rusty pistons room. Where you could stack crates and barrels to
get on the catwalk without using the pistons.

i figured it’s a bug, since you can easily pass the room.
At least they could have placed a crate on the pistons that would be vital to save before it gets destroyd
in order to climb up the catwalk.
