Just saw this, at least 6 killed.

You have to wonder how it was engineered.* It was installed in six
hours!

One report states the bridge was built offsite and moved into
position.

Somebody screwed the pooch when erecting it.


The report I read said it was a technique developed at FIU. They showed
us freshmen engineering students a video of the Tacoma Narrows bridge
collapse to show us how not to do things. The FIU student will have a
close up and personal example to draw on.

That's what happens when your engineers spent their childhood building
bridges from Legos.

It was also stated it was not complete yet. So what? It should have
been properly secured and supported along the way. Poor engineering.
