My brother is a student of this school this is what he told me 1) The bridge was not built by the school: according to him..the students kept clamouring for a bridge but the authority didn't bulge.. cos of that some sect of students contributed to construct that makeshift bridge 2) The SUG kept asking the authorities to either upgrade the bridge or build another one as the said bridge was showing signs of fault but the sch authorities didn't just care 3)Students were coming back from night class as it's the exam period 4)More than 8 people died 5) Some were rescued alive but died due to poor emergency response and rubbish sch clinic Hence, the students protested, destroyed some buildings and were sent home This is a case of negligence from the school authorities... no students will take selfie in the middle of the night on a faulty bridge after it rained during their exam period Nigeria is ffuccked 4 Likes 1 Share |

adanny01: So maybe they would have included in his brief that the bridge would double as a selfie platform. His static design calculation may have been for maximum 10 people and not 30. Why over design? A bridge is a crossing and should ideally have constantly moving load and not what happened. This isn’t to absolve the engineer but we have the benefit of hindsight to say he should have been able to predict but you can never predict human behavior. There is a Murphy’s law that states if they are many ways to do something and one way would lead to a disaster, some one will do it 1 Like |

The authorities did not maintain due diligence as regards Health and Safety concerning the failed bridge. A structure such as that should have been subject of severe warnings during classes, using fliers and definitely with signposts either side of the bridge. I do not doubt the use of the bridge as a platform for selfies - this present generation often display unbelievable traits that can baffle the most renowned psychologist. However, the school management ought to be ashamed of itself for not championing Health and safety. Many of the lecturers within the school must have gone to advanced nations at one point or the other. What did they bring back to improve the standard of their work place? Shame. |

Continue crying to the mods, and also, be ready for more insults That vice chancellor would have been relieved of his appointment and subjected to disciplinary action, in civilised societies. He would also have several lawsuits hanging around his neck too, ideally. 1 Like |

Always having a no reason to kajoring with people lives!!! You have no reason whatsoever to say anything at this point in time that people are mourning for their dear ones you killed with your innovationless brains! We don't take responsibility in Nigeria but always want to come up with flimzy excuses Tietiary institutions are not lagoon or mortuary where you won't expect crowd coming up for a group pixel or selfie. Every moment of an undergraduates count and for you to have a notable memories of them, you need pictures and that was what does girls were doing. Blood suckers leaders everywhere!!! Big time flop talking. |

The university claims is a complete assumption How can educated people be deceiving the general public that the bridge is design for less people than what is carrying . I must tell you that the bridge was never design for . This has become a usual occurrence in Nigeria that we do things anyhow . A citadel of learning doing project without engaging the required professional . As an experience persons in the construction industry I expected the Bauchi state chapter of NSE to make a brief statement on the university claims . We have Outrightly refuse educational guidance and we allow ignorants to give us direction . This is the perception of the statement from the university. We need to stand putting things right cos an error of today can affect us indirectly tomorrow. 2 Likes |

The bridge collapsed at 11:45 in the night. Who takes pictures at that time or is that a mistake? |
Re: 30 Students Were On Bridge Taking Selfies 'ABTU Vice Chancellor' by adanny01(m): 11:44am On Aug 08, 2019 |
Enyimbamercedes: Why 10? Is 10 the maximum number of people the bridge platform can contain? How did you arrive at 10? As long as there is space to accommodate 50 people, the bridge should have designed to carry 50. 3rd mainland brigde should have collapse by now if what you are saying was applied to its design. A bridge is primarily designed for live loads aka dynamic loads, with the hold ups on 3rd mainland taking the entire bridge, the designer could not have predicted static load of hold up cars among the dead load of the bridge. But the bridge is standing strong. Ask yourself why its still standing? If you look at that collapse bridge what do you see? I will tell you what i see. I see a combination of 2 things that caused the failure and both were not estimated to happen at the same time. 1. Number of people on the bridge 2. The force of the flood current The bridge would not have collapsed if there was no such current and people on top of it at the same time. On a good day, with no such current, the brigde would not have collapse with that many people on it. The bridge collapsed towards the downstream, it means the water assisted in pushing the bridge till it collapsed. A steel structure like this is expected to sway but recover, recovery is impossible with such current if not calculated in design. |
