The FEC records for at least one brother make interesting reading. McCain and Rubio got some of his money...

MCM gave nearly $25,000 to the six candidates running for Miami County Commission. MCM is currently bidding on a $800 million contract to build the new I-395 bridge in downtown Miami.

FIGG Bridge Engineers designed the bridge. (Tallahassee firm) designed or built bridges valued > $10 billion in 39 states and 6 countries.
Cemex provided the concrete.
Barnhart Crane & Rigging placed the bridge on its permanent supports.

Seems like a story that will have legs over the weekend.

The third video included with the news story is interesting.

Thank you. The article is full of serious gobbledygook, a word salad, with some very tenuous nonsense masquerading as “points” and “arguments” (he has none).

That said, I am very convinced that this was a constructor error. They needed a midpoint falseworks in place until the cable stays were built. And I’ve seen elsewhere that the project exec was a minority woman. I hope affirmative action didn’t just get a bunch of people killed and maimed, but it appears that may be the case.

Thanks for the link! Per a local news report last night, at least one employee of FDOT was on site. What the heck was FDOT doing?

So Manafort met with a Chinese company that might be interested in buying the Miami based Munilla Construction Management which was building the bridge that collapsed.

Forget the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Welcome to the MSM’s Six Degrees of Donald Trump.

Oh my, we here know that the Media Party just had to try tying Trump to something like this. Episodes of “Rumpole of the Bailey” that were made when I was a kid more than 30 years ago have more intriguing storylines than this gossip and innuendo.

I tend to agree that the article is poorly written, and probably needed another hour of correction before going final. My chief question would be over the test phase that was occurring that day, and if anything of an unusual nature was being done.

I noted someone discussing that several hundred of these type bridges have been built, in the same fashion.

There is always a DOT inspector on every bridge and highway job. Usually numerous inspectors.

I don’t think I have ever read an article quite that outlandish, incoherent, pathetic, and stupid. The writer was obviously trying to tie Donald Trump to the bridge collapse.

She who must be obeyed is the media in this case.

It is understood that they would contribute to many political campaigns. They’re in a business reliant on winning contacts and the decision to appoint the contract is made by political leaders.
