Shep Smith? LMAO.
If I want to get any information about a breaking story, I'll rely on what I can find in the Dead Sea scrolls before I tune in to Fox News.

The design may have been fine. The construction procedures appear to be awful.

South Florida has a notoriously flexible attitude toward rules, with a high rate of construction accidents and defects being one manifestation.

Early eyewitness statements are notoriously unreliable.

It was missing the suspension supports that were pictured in the design pics.

Appears to be crossing 6 plus lanes plus center median.

And now you know why these people choose “studies” for their majors. Math hard.
I think the stupidest comment I read was one where Trump was blamed for this infrastructure (they assumed it was existing) collapse because of tax cuts. Because you know
the planning, design, engineering and construction of a new bridge with a total cost of $14.2 million to build (out of a total project cost of $19.4 million) must have lacked proper funding.

They are probably blaming him because Miami-Dade is such a Republican stronghold.
Snort. Sorry, just couldn’t resist.
