It appears the reports of the collapsed walkway bridge *was*

Why they were doing this with busy auto traffic passing under it is
crazy.

New reports also indicate the companies involved have a history of
being fined for violations in the past.

Why would they even be selected for this project?

Stupid.

Lowest bidder, of course. That's our Miami government...
