March 15, 20188 yr FIU bridge collapse: Several killed after pedestrian bridge at Florida college collapses - ABC News This was a brand new bridge, erected five days ago via a new method where it was constructed to the side, then swung into place. It didn't appear to me from another photo that it had a center support. It looks at this point like it was simply a massive failure in architectural design. They don't have a death count yet, but there were 5-6 cars underneath it, stopped at a red light. Thankfully, it wasn't open to foot traffic yet, so no pedestrians were actually on the bridge. I've always had a bit of an irrational fear of being stopped underneath bridges, probably due to seeing a dramatization of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake where a double decker concrete bridge collapsed. This does not help that one bit.

March 15, 20188 yr CWB are you stuttering or what? I'm guessing that means you aren't seeing the pictures of the bridge/collapse that I posted?
