As we speak - students are organizing a walkout. Demanding Bridge Control Laws.

Boy, the lawsuits over this are going to be epic. As well they should be.

From what I can figure out here they installed the bridge BEFORE they installed the supports for it.

Brilliant.

Slow down people. Remember that bridge technology is just emerging and we are only yet beginning to understand it.

If only! Why do I get the feeling this bridge was built with Common Core math?

Those kids are out eating Tide Pods!

Chinese steel was my first thought as well.

Ok, so right there, lesson learned. Install supports BEFORE putting up the span. Who knew?

They installed the bridge stating it will be open 2019. Wow, then why install it now? Lawsuits are reayd to go because the same construction companies have a bad history with a few years..

Saw in a report they were “stress testing” the bridge. Seriously? With people beneath it? SMH.

I have a lot of politically INcorrect questions about this.

One is the name of the architect of this particular structure. Next, information on the concrete used. Next, information on where the steel for this structure came from. Next, information, and names, of the crew that had been putting this thing together.
