LOL: ‘Instant’ bridge to make dangerous crossing safer for students

[Dachsie]

Idiots used bolts from china and india marked #8 for weight bearing. Stupid asses trusting chinks and sheenies to engineer steel parts.

If Q's recent cryptic references to bridges and deliberately sabotaged steel products fabrication refers to this bridge event, then low quality construction materials or construction methods was all planned. Do not blame people who did the building of low quality steel parts out of low quality or wrong kind of steel nor people who work for substandard wages and do poor and unsupervised low quality work. That was all as planned as something to blame this on rather than the real perps.

Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted late Thursday that engineers were tightening cables on the bridge when it fell onto the roadway. He followed it up Friday night with another tweet noting that a video showed “construction crews were working on the diagonal beam at the north end of bridge applying ‘posttensioning force‘ to strengthen it“ moments before the collapse

He was wrong. They had not installed any cables yet. They might have been tweaking the post tensioning members. Unfortunately they chose to do it with live traffic going underneath.

My bosses buy low bid items, then the second time they buy the good stuff...

If this fact ever makes it to the mainstream news sites, Trump’s plans for tariffs will rise in popularity 1000000%!

No bridge of this size should be able to be installed with live traffic underneath.

But...but...but, our engineers are really, really smart!

Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten

Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten

Forgot that saying, was the '70s perhaps the '60s: The price of quality is long forgotten when the sweetness of a low price for complete shit. Or something like that. I have to dig in the archives for an actual card stating this.

I see the video but I do not hear or read a description and I do not know how to interpret the video other than I cannot see how on God's green earth THEY could do that procedure while there were cars and people moving underneath. It would be kind of amusing to hear their rationale for such an absurd and unsafe, severe injuries and deaths waiting to happen, maneuver.
