Bridge

Such a stupid, horrible accident. Why did anyone design a bridge where the entire weight rests on four points only a few feet wide? Why did they design the bridge for the "short term"? And why has no one thought ahead of the costs of repairing and keeping-up with all the millions of crappily constructed bridges in the U.S. when they were designing the infrastructure of a 200+ million vehicle society?

Interstate 35 West before it collapsed:

And another question posed 24 hours after the collapse:
Why hasn't anyone remove the cars from the bridge yet? Why were people left in the cars on the bridge to die, why haven't helicopters airlifted the cars and their occupants if the bridge is so unstable? Why aren't there more divers and rescue people in the water and on the bridge?
Smells of Katrina management if you ask me....
