Holy crap! After seeing all those freeWAYS pancaked in SF during the World Series Earthquake, back in the 80s, I get a very ***queasy*** feeling every time I drive on bridges and overpasses. This just reinforces that feeling.

Prayers up!

I hope they check for anything like residual chemicals or corrosives.

Now I feel so much safe having taken the metro from Laval to Montreal during my stay there. Its clean, safe and convenient. Downtown Montreal is not that far from the Laurentides area of Laval.
Maintenant je sens tant de coffre-fort ayant pris le métro de Laval à Montréal pendant mon séjour là. Son propre, sûr et convenable. Le centreville Montréal n'est pas que loin de la région Laurentides de Laval.

Thanks for the link. There must be something in the concrete in Laval - this is the second time an overpass has collapsed there this decade.

Its the second time in two years an overpass has collapsed in the Laval area. Bridges need constant maintenance because of the traffic load. They have a shorter lifespan than any other form of human construction.

The really frightening thing is that there actually is a not-insignificant risk of pretty strong earthquakes in the whole St. Lawrence valley of Canada...
They're in serious, serious trouble if they're having overpasses drop of their own accord.

Or not in it - isn't the Mafia heavily involved in construction in the Montreal area?
Shortcuts to save money, skim off more profit maybe?
