I like your theory on why the bridge collapsed. Pretty good analysis for a layperson.
Being that the bridge was already stressed, the extra tons of weight of all the concrete trucks, etc., might have been a factor.
At least you’re not blaming it on Global Warming, like some of the Mediots.
I am really bugged by something! About a hour ago,President Bush spoke on the WH lawn concerning the tragedy. Right in the middle of the statement, FOX NEWS cut him off!I went to CNN and they ironically were still covering him. Then after another few minutes CNN cut him off. Personally, when the President is speaking, whether or not you agree with what he is saying, and he is addressing the nation, I find it very offensive to “ cut him off”. Have we become so rude and arrogant as a nation that he is just another person at the mike?? I remember a time, years ago now, when the President spoke, EVERY station and every body listened.
A sad day in many ways for our country.
