Right, because nothing like that would ever happen in the US. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/15/wa.../15bridge.html Let the arguments begin. |

Right, because nothing like that would ever happen in the US. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/15/wa.../15bridge.html Interestingly, they claim that the bridge was designed with a "weak" plate to join girders, but then they immediately follow that up with information about how the City added more weight to the bridge. Makes one want to know if the design was "weak" when it was designed, or was "weak" by today's standards. Let the arguments begin. Nah. One political thread at a time is more than enough. |
