You get what you pay for.
They paid for diversity, that’s what they really wanted.
Get’s worse by the minute.
They must have used feminist science and math.

The Cost Of Diversity: Florida Bridge Collapse Company A “Certified Minority Owned Firm”
Celebrate diversity!!
Youtube video analysis I saw said it was not a design, but a construction, flaw. Don’t know what they’ll figure out but it is WAY too early to tell. There will be plenty of time to point fingers.
All they need is more government grants and then they will be so much better. Just like the educational system.
I’ll bet the MSM is all over this story.
LOL!
As usual, I have to read Free Republic to hear about things like this.
If you look at that bridge or walkway as it’s called you can see there isn’t a single steel I beam anywhere in that thing. Nor was there any kind of arch underneath it at either end. The whole thing is pre-cast concrete. The support columns they did use are too far apart. In effect what that thing was would be if you took , say and five by three or four foot piece of glass or marble and instead of carrying straight up and down you attempted to have two people carry it flat. The moment you’d do that the glass or marble would break. That’s pretty much what happened here.
This means that there will be no consequences...none. The Pu$$y-pass will get them outta this.
The root cause of the collapse.
Men and boys all over the world are “twice as good at math” as women and girls?
This article is as bogus as the construction engineering on the bridge.
DIVERSITY OVER HARMONICS
Equals Undamped Oscillation
We don’t care about no schtinking harmonics,
we have DIVERSITY!
Just put a sign at the entrance, everyone walk in unison.
Engineer Lady: "Shut up and eat your lunch - did you wash your hands?"
Low bid meets spec.
Wise Latinas building bad bridges but still making muy bueno tacos.
I wonder what the percentage of women chess masters is?
I know there are some but would bet the percentage is small.
I once worked for an engineering firm that had a small structural design group. My focus was on municipal Civil Engineering and I would watch the Senior level Structural Engineer just grind those young guys to death. All they did all day was run calculations over and over. I’m talking old school task master type apprenticeship. They had 1 guy there that had his Bachelors and Masters from Purdue. After 3 years of spread sheet calculations, he quit to be a winemaker.
My point is you don’t just pick a team, regardless of their gender, and tell them to design a bridge. These team members should be picked based on their experience, knowledge, and capabilities, and not what sex they are.
If you push affirmative action hires, who are filled with social justice garbage and not taught critical thinking skills, what do you think is going to happen? They were probably neither emotionally or intellectually prepared for such a task.
