my htoughts, since FOXNEWS is openly wondering how something like this could happen without a trigger of some sort....like EarthQuake - or Big Wind or .....something...
Of course it could be totally crappy engineering.
Reports now that boats can only approach from the south due to a dam that is north of the bridge
Here we go. Never hear a word about engineering until a single dam is breached or a bridge falls...and then it's either bloodthirsty terrorists or sloppy designers...
It couldn't be dumb construction workers, or stupid govt inspectors, maybe?
I’d bet on malfeasance on the part of the contractor working on that span. That thought brings up the question of the political connections if any between the contractor and the local rat party politicians. It’s happened before as in levees in N.O.
