The company that build the bridge has a troubled history.

Xerxes was building high pontoon quality bridges to get across the Hellespont in 480 BC. The beautiful Anji bridge in China is 1500 years old and still in use for pedestrians.
The list goes on...

Basically, in today’s era, a bridge collapse is utterly inexcusable.

When the bridge collapsed, the main tower had not yet been installed, and it was unclear what builders were using as temporary supports.


This may explain a lot.

“Hey guys! We still have this tower in the box. What are we supposed to do with it? Meh. It’ll be fine.”
