Don’t tell the libtards that the bridge was planned in 2016, I wonder if they can remember who was president then?

A supposed eye witness told Shepard Smith on Fox News that he saw a crane drop a heavy object on one end of the bridge, causing it to collapse. He said the crane was then moved. This was not confirmed at news conferences which, as is usually the case in the initial stages of such events, gave very little information.

Have the Democrats and MSM blamed the NRA yet?

The heavy object should be near that end of the bridge, then.

Oh, my gosh. There are actually people saying this is Trump’s fault. Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Honestly, this is the only issue I have with all the money POTUS wants to give states for infrastructure. They will NEVER spend it on the actual infrastructure and cut corners or just ignore repairs while shoveling the money into other things to get them elected.

That will be easy to tell from the people who are trained to analyze these kind of accidents.

These kinds of articles are garbage. At best they prove that there are ten crazy people who know how to use twitter. The left uses this tactic much more effectively than the right but regardless it’s garbage on both sides.

Idiots blaming Trump should check to see who is involved in design, review, construction, and inspection.

By a retired professional engineer formerly involved in all the above in the state of Florida.

I was kind of expecting Russia to get the blame. Maybe Mueller can include that in his endless effort to chase his tail.

We need sensible comprehensive bridge reform. No one needs a bridge this big. I propose legislation that there should be no bridges over 800 tons. Let’s organize a school walkout.

Yeah, I watched the report by Shepard Smith earlier this afternoon and heard something about a crane, but I had to leave for some errands so I missed the entire briefing.

The account of an alleged heavy object dropped on the bridge from a crane was told by a citizen eyewitness talking to Shemp Smith. The briefings provided virtually no info.
