Mafia involvement in construction could be nationwide. Tread carefully across bridges. Trump’s failure to spend on infrastructure in his first term is an issue
Oh, they did, and they had an estimated cost to secure the bridge, but thought that was too much money! Wonder if they are having second thoughts?
Watch the “Nova” episode on that bridge incident, it is well done!
I’m not a degree engineer. But at 83 I see a glaring solution. One that so far I haven’t heard addressed. The entire bridge would have remained untouched if the rudderless ship had reached a designed-in Protective Run-Aground Perimeter. The protective features at collision time was insufficient.
