NTSB News Release"Who gets to say?"
National Transportation Safety Board Office of Public AffairsLoad, Capacity Calculation Errors, Inadequate Peer Review Led to Pedestrian Bridge Collapse
WASHINGTON (Oct. 22, 2019) The National Transportation Safety Board determined, during a public board meeting held Tuesday, that load and capacity calculation errors made by FIGG Bridge Engineers, Inc., are the probable cause of the fatal, March 15, 2018, Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse in Miami.
Contributing to the collapse was Louis Bergers inadequate peer review, which failed to detect FIGGs calculation errors in its design of the main span truss member 11/12 nodal region and connection to the bridge deck. The FIGG engineer of records failure to identify the significance of structural cracking observed in this node before the collapse, and failure to obtain an independent peer review of the remedial plan to address the cracking, further contributed to the collapse.
In the end, the bridge, building, power plant, refinery, airplane, train, road, etc get to say. As well as all the dead people.
How will a sane nation ever repulse the incredible stupidity and ignorance of these idiots who want to send us back 3,000 years?
'Close enough'.
