BS... it fell down due to negligence.

Prove it and win the law suit lottery. Until then, your opinion is worth the electrons it was written with.

Wait until the official report comes out, and you will see just how idiotic your statements are. Bridges that are part of the interstate highway system don’t just fall down on a clear day with no outside forces acting upon them. Bridges like this collapse because someone screwed up, usually many people screw up over an extended period of time.

The bridge was judged structurally difficient in 1990, now that’s a technical term so as to the exact specs who knows. A contractor was driving pilings into the river just a few hundred feet away from the bridge, as of yet there is no proof that this activity contributed to the collapse, but I’m fairly certain the final report will find negligence by the contractor, by the state, etc etc etc.

You can sit there and spew your rhetoric that bridges just fall down, but they don’t Bridges properly maintained do not just fall down, just like skyscrapers that are properly maintained don’t just fall down. No more than guns just “go off”.
