You know, I actually feel kind of bad for them. The idea that such an unremarkable small bridge would have a red ribbon cutting dignitary ceremony says as much as it’s failure.
We shouldn’t be cruel to those people, but we should pay attention to not buy into the idea that people like that have answers for us either.
That is how we got the bridge failure in Miami

Chinese Engineering?
That does not even look like a real bridge, more like a stage for the photo op.

Watched the video. So the ribbon was what was holding the whole thing together?

That ribbon was the only thing holding up the bridge. Bad idea to cut it.

That was hysterical. What did they build the bridge from? Chewing gum and string? All the funnier for aggrandizement of having an official cut a tape on it, then the immediate collapse.

The security personnel immediately rush to the spot and drag the woman from the falling bridge.After the one Black guy seems to push her aside to save his own skin.

It appears that the ribbon was the only thing holding the bridge up!

If not Chinese engineering, certainly crappy Chinese building materials. And in typical Third World fashion, you can be sure theft, embezzlement and nepotism were built into the project. Still it’s rather sad to think the entire world is watching this clip and laughing at the Africans. With little access to reliable transport, the locals have to walk everywhere and depend on simple paths and bridges, esp. during their rainy season.

They should have used a flatbed railcar. They make good bridges for crossing small channels.
