I doubt they will be finding too many more alive but lets hope they dont find any more dead. It will be interesting to see what caused this, hopefully it wasn't some dumbass engineering decision like that hotel that had a causeway collapse from the 4th floor into the lobby and killed a lot of people because of a very bad design.

Yeah, we'll just hope everyone disappeared.

According to what I watched earlier today the bridge had gotten a 50 on its last inspection in...'05 I believe, that's out of a 120 max, so needless to say, someone was being a cheapass and wouldn't repair it. So it was pretty much a dumbass decision.

I'm surprised they wouldn't use Food Stamp funds to re-enforce it.

Exactly.

People have to die before money gets spent on something like public safety.

The irritating part I heard is that they're going to reconstruct it after pulling all the pieces up and out of the water to figure out what went wrong with it. Talk about a bigger waste of funding. What's wrong with it is that the design was outdated, and not maintained well enough to keep supporting a load that heavy. Huge waste of time, money, and needless traffic rerouting compared to simply building a more modern bridge at the same location...

House and Senate sent $120 million to repair it.

Of course they did, now that people died.
