...”Was?” What happened? Did she stand outside in the rain and shrink all of a sudden?
Well, it was 40 years ago...

>>...critics say simple mathematics would have prevented the disaster in Miami.<<
“Math is hard if your’re a female, and even harder if you’re a minority female. So let’s not worry about that math thingy and just design a pretty bridge!” — All female, Cubana design team.
It’s a high price to pay for being stylish.

I once dated a cute girl who was a math major. She was pretty smart. She was also later president of her sorority at Mississippi State.
Still it is a fact that boys on average, score higher on math tests and girls score higher on verbal.

It was more important how the bridges felt about themselves...

You’ve got to be kidding me? Is this real?
To: reaganaut1
Well the bridge was being intolerant of gravity for a while then caved to the worlds pressure to turn that potential energy into steady state. Cant have some object refusing to bow to the pressure of Mother Earth.

There is some seriously bad logic going on here to imply that gender played any role in thisYeah, this kind of stuff is embarrassing.
I'd bet that most modern civil engineering failures are a result of cutting corners to save (or embezzle) money, not poor engineering.

The dashcam video shows the bridge broke right where the workers were tensioning the cable, so it may have nothing to do with the design.
