Nothing to see, move along...nothing to see.

That's a pisser.

I do drilling for foundation design. One of the places it seems contractors always want to skimp and save money on is the foundation engineering. It isn't sexy. You can't see anything when we are done. So, they figure if they can save money there, they can spend it elsewhere.

I say that, because I am wondering if they skimped on the foundation design and testing?

Next time have a genuine engineer review the prints BEFORE construction begins.

Someone deserves to have their tit in a real wringer.

Construction workers at the scene told WPLG that the bridge was undergoing a "stress test" when it collapsed, but officials have not confirmed that detail.

I am no structural engineer but to perform a stress test with people underneath it? Priceless. Frigging mo-rons.

Up to six deaths reported so far,cars are still under so there may be more. I see a cloud in the sky...oh...wait...they are lawyers hovering over the area. MCM, one of the largest constructions companies here, the engineers and architects, FIU, the county inspector's office....everybody will get sued. This is going to be bad.

Yes, they reported a Stress Test was conducted prior to the collapse, well shit, you are supposed to run your tests before putting the damned thing over a road you dumb assholes. Someone screwed up and that's an understatement.

Or close the dang road! A stress test is designed to see if it will break or not! They usually don't break. This time it did.

Im wondering what the bridge was made of ? reinforced concrete, steel , wood, paper mache

Yup like yourself and I posted Fred. "Testing the structure with people underneath? Equivalent of testing a new airplane with a full load of passengers. Frigging idiots.
