re: #143 lawhawk

All of that may be worth examining down the road, but the likely cause is an engineering failure or a mechanical failure.

I’m expecting to hear that it was a failure of tension rods within the prestressed concrete that was erected, or that they needed to make sure that the cable stays were in place before they allowed traffic below the structure - because the ultimate design was meant to be a cable stayed structure.

I heard on at least one of the channels that they were in the process of stress testing the bridge. If so, rush hour seems to be a really bad time to do it.
