  3. So this was all within 90 seconds: They did stop traffic, but they missed the work crew on the bridge itself… it was too late to save them.

  19. This is absolutely disgusting. I didn't hear one mention about any of the workmen on the bridge? Sounded like he was speaking in a slur. I watched a documentary a few years ago about bridges all over the world & how many are at point of collapse or been temporarily repaired & monitors put in place. Many all over the world including one somewhere in London also have new weight load & speed restrictions in place because they are so old & overdue maintenance because when certain bridges got built or replaced years ago in a way they thought would be safer turned out they weren't for many different reasons. So if this bridge was also very old then along with the crash it didn't stand a chance. Makes you think 🤔 I cannot believe those workers had no rescue plan in place. I would have thought they would have several to cover many scenarios & carry out regular mandatory practice drills also. Those poor workers & their families 🙏 ❤
