Well they send inspectors to reopen the bridges here and do not allow their use until the inspections are completed. Sometimes that involves divers being sent to inspect the underwater parts. Trucks in particular can vibrate a bridge and cause piling failure with disastrous results.
It's not as straight forward as it looks.
I urge caution before conclusions.
I'm talking about foot traffic only.
The people were attempting to cross on foot.
Buses were coming and going.
Quit trying to spin this. I agree there might be more to this story. But your attempts to explain this don't fit the facts so far.
"I urge caution before conclusions."
Are you urging us not to believe the words of the people who closed the bridge? They didn't say anything at all (at least not in the story) about high winds.
Well said.
There's enough blame to go on. You notice how Bush said he was the responsible, but the mayor of NO and the Governor of La didn't step up to the plate. Gee...imagine if Clinton were still president. No one would take responsibility.
