“... build the cable-stayed bridge.”
And without the cables - it didn’t stay. Seems pretty obvious the bridge needed its cables. It’s right there in the name!
Well, since they decided to eliminate the center tower from which the cables play out, there wasn't any need for the stays, right? The cables can't just hang from thin air, eh?
Designed and built by the Humpty Dumpty Engineerettes Company. < /s >
