@brianstansfield4367 That' NO REASON why new risk analysis was not performed for changing events and conditions. You just don't know what analysis HAS been done, nor how slap-dash it was to justify keeping the port open and pumping $$$$ into the economy AT THE LEAST COST to the port administration.

It collapsed that easily because the DESIGN did not specify 'survive collision with a vessel not on the oceans, yet' OR 'survive the destruction of one pier supporting the main truss structural members. It was a Single Point Failure design for reasons we don't know and may never really be able to 'pull the string' through to the actual people who made those decisions.

james-rd4dq So, where is the sign warning people that they travel across the bridge at their own risk? I worked in industry where something like this was required to have a frequency of 10^-6, or less than once in a million years on the combined frequencies of postulated events, in analyses that were updated ROUTINELY when new postulated events or new discoveries in event precursors or even minor changes in facility design were made. You are just justifying this event as an 'accident' for polemical purposes.

@skatenikes0 Do you not understand the principles of lawsuits to pay for actions taken to resolve a tort? You know, like INSURANCE usually functions. Like having victims of a car accident CARED FOR IN AN EMERGENCY ROOM without any need to contact the insurance companies first?!
