5 days ago this celebrated opening this new "safe" bridge.

Today it collapsed on top of several vehicles

I don't want to see what they find underneath that thing.

The impact that the bridge had on the local community will certainly be felt for a long time .

All I know is that FIU's poorly aged tweet has stayed up longer than the bridge

To be fair, no pedestrians on the bridge were killed.

Why were they proud of it being a "safe" bridge? Are other bridges designed like guns to be mass murder devices?

It wasn't even finished. Hard to blame FIU for this.

For shame, Oogie.

See the tweet in the OP and you'll see why FIU is getting the DB here.

Rich Hann was in charge of building the bridge.

that's an interesting design, the bottom of the bridge looks awfully thin considering the span length.

news media "hard at work" googling the construction company to find past worksite safety issues

I saw it. I even referenced it earlier.

Seems like they were trying to put up a pedestrian bridge over a crowded and busy road.

Quote:
George Harrison remembered it:

I helped Eric [Clapton] write "Badge" you know. They were all working on that Goodbye Cream album and Eric didn't have a song for it yet. We were working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we came to the middle part so I wrote 'Bridge.' Eric read it upside down and cracked up laughing – 'What's BADGE?' he said. After that, Ringo [Starr] walked in drunk and gave us that line about the swans living in the park.[5]

At least we'll have fun.

Maybe collapsing the bridge was in the plan. Eliminate the crowded and busy road.

The only thing that will stop a bad bridge from collapsing is a good bridge...with a gun.
