Sounds like it was a dodgey bridge anyway... Death gone from 1 to 3 to 7 in the last 15mins.
Nasty. Doesn't look like there were many cars travelling across it, thankfully.
It was peak hour - 50 to 100 cars in the water.
holy shit. :|
Holy shit! Doesn't look that bad from the photos. Sure to be more deaths on the way if there were that many cars travelling across it.
Rec is a picture book kinda person, doesnt like to read.
Damm sucks.. Hope the death toll dont rise too much higher.
o.0 that sucks
Not good at all.
If it was under repair I suspect that is what caused the collapse.
Let me see your work method statement and Health and safety risk assessment please.

You forgot to add after "please drop your pants and await rogering" - lube optional ;)
Wow, that first pic shows a school bus with 60 children on board. Luckily they all got out alive...

That was also my suspicion.
Wouldn't happen to one of YOUR bridges now would it?
I hear fatigue was a likely factor.
Having one bit of the bridge go shouldn't result in many spans subsequently collapsing.
Spindly steel house of cards...
i saw this on the news this morning. incredible and sad at the same time. i sure now there will be a panic to check all the bridges in the US now that are considered not up to par
