I was looking into the Florida bridge collapse.
They installed it in one day.. it weighed 950 tons. And looking at pics, design did not look that safe. Look at size of the pillars, length of area without a pillar( over the road)
I'm not an engineer, but even to me logically, it looked like a really stupid design.
It cost 14 million, yet they spent only one day installing it.
Wonder if they used shoddy cheap materials too( inferior steel on inside of concrete,, other then obvious collapse from design flaws)
'Multiple' people crushed to death as 950-ton pedestrian bridge collapses on top of cars and pedestrians on Florida college campus - just five days after it was installed
Pedestrian bridge linking two parts of Florida International University campus collapsed on Thursday
The 950-ton bridge was installed last Saturday and had not yet been open to pedestrian traffic
Police say there are 'multiple deaths' as well as a number of cars and motorists trapped underneath the rubble
FIU touted the bridge's construction as a huge success since it was built within a day and installed Saturday
The bridge wasn't due to be open to foot traffic until early 2019, according to the university
