I-5 bridge in Seattle collapses - history repeats itself
 

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) ? An Interstate 5 bridge over a river north of Seattle collapsed Thursday evening, dumping several vehicles into the water as authorities investigated the cause of the collapse that cut off the state's main north-south thruway and sent three people to the hospital.

Another major bridge in the same region collapsed back in the 1940. Was it the same builder/engineering firm?

wow where did your washed up ass come from

It was built by the Nalem Bridge Company.

We're too busy fixing bridges in the middle east right now to worry about this one.

that video is blurry

Mt Vernon is not Seattle

The other bridge was not "in the same region" or even close

And they have zero relation to each other in terms of construction and why they failed

But I gotta say, your news reporting is many times better than your photography.

Dude you forgot the watermark

Sad, but true.

I read somewhere this morning that this bridge was considered "obsolete" by some federal transportation board in 2000 and 2010. Any government official who did not try to replace this bridge should be drawn and quartered...

yeah, I can't see the dicks :(

The Bridge
 

As most or all country's face big deficits infrastructure is being left to fall apart....we all will pay the price for this.....our governments inability to spend our money wisely is going to get a lot of people killed....

Politicians need their pensions...after all....fuck the infrastructure...I want my pension....not the people...the politicians....we the people keep getting fucked....and not in a good way....


Damn them all to hell.......

reports are someone drove something way too big on to the bridge.. '3 times the size' was what the quote was

Yes, it supposedly was a truck carrying an oversized load.

History repeats itself? Not the same bridge, not the same location, not the same reason, not the same age, not the same anything. Nothing is repeating itself in your comparison.

There have been over 75 bridge collapses since 1990. Maybe this is what you meant.

thats crazy! i sure do miss seattle!

Lucky nobody was killed
