The mayor of the Mexican city of Cuernavaca was proudly inaugurating a footbridge over a scenic stream Tuesday when the bridge collapsed, sending him and about two dozen other people plunging into a gully.

The hanging bridge made of wooden boards and metal chains had recently been remodeled. Video of the collapse suggested the boards separated from the chains supporting them.

How long before these bridge “remodelers” show up in the US to ply their trade?

Many of their amigos are already here.

An Mexican engineer constructed the concrete power line bases in Acapulco. Of course the poles all fell down. He fled to the US and worked on govt contracts. We had to watch him like a hawk. Later he was forcibly removed by the Labor Board when they found out and deported.

Notice the guy on the left side jumping up and down before it collapses. Probably not the reason it collapsed but coincidental. Also he is the only one not to fall.

I noticed several of the “gente” had masks on, so they were safe.
