They showed live updates on the local news. Said the parts were made in China.

I told Mrs. Big Bobber “They better shut the bridge down right now.”

The part that failed is a major tension rod in the cantilever span and there are high winds in the area today. It’s not improbable that such a failure with continued high wind stress could cause the span to collapse. Not worth taking a chance.
