Default Bridge collapse

It appears the reports of the collapsed walkway bridge *was* undergoing
stress tests when it fell apart. They were tightening cables on it to
confirm the stress ratings.

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.


A report I read said the company made good sized political donations to those in power. Could help
explain their selection.
