Mandrake Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Terrible tragedy......just caught this on the evening news....looks like it happened during peak rush hour
Gaurav Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 CNN was showing security camera clip of the bridge falling.
coffee_rules Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Mu b-i-l who uses the bridge occasionally when his routine route is clogged, used his routine route yesterday. Quite a save!
kabira Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 used to use this route every day around the time bridge collapsed. My country saved me.
Lurker Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 used to use this route every day around the time bridge collapsed. My country saved me. That was one of the first thought that came to my mind, you used to live in the area didnt you Kabira. Did any of your friends/colleagues get impacted?

kabira Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 My work place is right there and I can see that bridge (partially) from my window. Thankfully all my collegue and friends are safe.
Gaurav Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Was it just age or something else? Maybe our resident civil engineer CC could throw some light :regular_smile:
apocalypse Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 on cnn some engineer said that it buckled under pressure
Guest dada_rocks Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 40 year is nothing for a well built bridge
ludhianvi Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Shocking news, bridges collapsing like that. What are the actual roads of the bridges made of, they seem very flexible.
