I agree.

MIAMI (AP) – An engineer left a voicemail two days before a catastrophic bridge failure in Miami to say some cracking had been found at one end of the concrete span, but the voicemail wasn’t picked up until after the collapse, Florida Department of Transportation officials said Friday.

What a clusterfook. Clearly, the bridge was not finished, testing and tensioning still being performed, and the final supports not even installed and yet they allowed traffic under this thing? I can smell the lawsuits coming a mile away, and completely justified. This is poor planning and oversight on a massive scale, not to mention the incredibly poor communications. Voicemail left? DOT not informed of stress testing (sounds like a CYOA statement to me actually). Watch the rats scurry.

…the bridge was to be supported by a tower with cables, but the tower had not been installed yet ??? …wouldn’t that be the FIRST thing to do, install the support tower first???

Clearly a whole lot of people fucked up. With any luck, the most guilty will go to jail.
