The scary thing is they say the average bridge in America is about 40 years old.
I doubt they mean the pavement I'm sure they mean the girders the part that really holds it up.

Considering how humanity cannot really spell his real name, as it would drive them to insanity, I'd say such things are trivial.

I'd say that since you know that, you own considerably. But I wanted to give the original spelling.

Theres a foot bridge that I know of that was once a traffic bridge dating back to the 20s but in the late 1940s cars got bigger and more traffic the bridge was too small but it crosses a river.
Now its a pedestrian bridge it has been for 65 years but its had little if any maintenance.
Granted walkers are not as heavy as cars its a long way to be half way over to have it drop.

I read about this and traveling often I have often thought about the chance of a bridge collapsing. You never think it will actually happen though. That had to be a scary time that's all I can say.
Some of the victims' families were interviewed on tv this week I watched some of that from motel rooms.
