If it were to be in the UAE, heads would definitely roll, they don't compromise when it comes to issues that pertains structural engineering, the engineer's involved now would just humble go to jail without any hearing in court cos that's where they belong after this terrible mishap.

This must be the result of corruption (builders cutting corners and using cheap material) or incompetence (failure to maintain the bridge and noticing the structural degradation.)

Did you guys see the most famous bridge collapse in American history?
Watch this video:

May the souls of the dead find peace in the afterlife. RIP.

WTH! The bridge was literally wobbly as if it was made of rubber

As an engineer atimes I still de wonder for this white men , how can a bridge crossing more than nine lanes not have a support under , don't they consider the strength of the material? when in nija over head crossing for a single lane sef de carry support for middle of the road ,

I get you, you but a cable stayed bridge don't necessarily need many column supports.The cables are doing the job of holding the deck up.

Not necessarily a quack engineer... It could be due to a landslide, excessive vibration, etc
There should be a constant building survey on all structures but sadly the Government in most part of the world consider it waste of resources. RIP to the dead

The cables are tensioned and can provide the necessary support though one of my Canadian lecturer back then taught us that it's better to be safe than sorry. My advice is to introduce columns regardless of the TC

Please shut up and stop getting drunk with cheap likes given by silly kids here.

Accidents happen anywhere, even in a place like the US. Difference is over there, it's a rare occurrence and it wouldn't be swept under the rug.

In Nigeria it happens frequently and whenever it does, investigation and culpability are all in hush hush!

You're guilty of what you accuse people here that's pretending Nigeria is a working country like the US.

Since na oyibo land, I know some mental slaves will be falling over themselves to justify the collapse because they want to be seen as though Black they are, but intellectually whiter than the White. If this were to be in their lands, same slaves will start calling their potor homes some funny names like "shithole, zoo". It really sucks to be a slave, especially the mental variety. cheesy cheesy

Omg! How come the imminent collapse was not detected by the authorities concerned before the tragedy struck undecided shocked. Goes to show that even in the well advanced countries, they can goof as well. There is no perfect system...so to say. The only perfection is in God! smiley RIP to the dead.

It is was detected....someone guffed big time!

It was a new bridge and it collapsed during stress testing after construction to determine its structural stability.

The construction company requested partial lane closure during the test period, hence the fatalities; had it been full lanes closures instead of the two closed, the fatalities would have been none or reduced.

But, it is not fair to play Monday morning quarterback, that was a very busy road, so they must have felt a partial closure is sufficient.

An Engineer from the construction company detected some cracks on the bridge two days before the collapse. He called FDOT but had to leave a voicemail, since the recipient was away and that message was not listen to until a day after the incident.

It is new bridge and collapse during stress test before opening it up for the public aka students for which it was built to access their campus over a very busy highway.
