How does something like this happen with today's technology? Its been standing for 30 years and was only inspected last year to make sure it was still safe...

or anyone that was on it..

a good and bad thing was, that only 4 people have been killed so far.. thats not a bad effort for such a busy bridge.

That good old coat-hanger of ours better be up to scratch!

I read in MX (the most accurate of all papers) that the bridge was actually undergoing repairs when it happened... Perhaps the repairs sucked balls?

Yeah but apparently the repairs were only resurfacing one part of the road and replacing some of the steel railing, hardly enough to cause that (i would think...)

Considering I travel over it every day on a train I hope it is. That would be the worst.

Tragic what happened to that bridge, and the life and property lost in it.

Too early to speculate a Conspiracy Theory?

No its never to early. The klan just wanted to bury and hide the remaining bodies in the river sad thats all. And the government played a part in it...
