All this is mute.
The job supervisors directives,folowing of guide lines and OSHA procedures is the only thing related to this collapse.
Which were obviously not adhered to or the deaths would not have occurred
Moot, my FRiend. Moot.
NO.
OSHA? This was a design and construction error/problem/mistake/decision.
OSHA would have detailed rules telling you to wear safety harnesses attached to a “secure foundation” capable of xxx lbs tension by a “engineer” ... but only incidentally requires the full structure be built safely over the road and for the workers on the bridge.
A democrat donor contractor building a democrat-donor-designed bridge “design” getting government (democrat) money from a democrat (Obama) administration in a democrat city in a democrat congressional district for a democrat (liberal) “university” favoring minority and illegal alien workers? Yeah. No possibility of corruption in that mix.
I disagree.
Contract requirements, structural design, shop drawing requirements and approvals, stipulated installation sequences and a number of other factors could have been a cause of this collapse.
If the bridge would not support itself without the overhead suspension system in place then there had to be a licensed professional structural engineer’s designed temporary support system, either in the original design, or required to be purchased and designed during the course of the contract. If that was not an contract requirement of the original design, and the cause, then the designer is largely to blame.
Details of OSHA guidelines would only come into play in a general sense. Stating that this is a field superintendent’s error without the details is a wild guess at this point and absurd.
All this is mute.

Moot. The word you want is “moot”; not “mute”.
