If I recall correctly, was it not women engineers that engineered the walking bridge that fell on the traffic below as it was being installed in South Florida.

Well, I know it wasn’t my daughter who engineered it. She doesn’t do bridges.

It was, and until that thing collapsed they couldn’t scream louder about how it was designed by a woman.

Do you know the sex of the person running that company?

FYI, it’s a chick.

Not only are you correct, but it was a cable-stayed bridge. The woman in charge was quoted as saying that the cables were "only for aesthetics".

I haven't heard much about that bridge in the news, but I think that statement alone increased their liability enormously.
