One article even noted that there was 191 tons of construction material piled on the weakest point of the bridge at the time of the collapse.

Looks like : over the years too many tons were added beyond what the bridge was originally designed to hold.

And all of it personally driven there by Dick Cheney at the behest of Halliburton.... (/sarc)

Incorrect. The article said “more than 191 tons of construction material had been piled over the bridge’s weakest areas.”

It did NOT say the “weakest point of the bridge.” Big difference between the weakest point (singular) and the weakest areas (multiple unstated locations).
