unclewest Certainly I feel for the families who have lost their loved ones in the bridge collapse. The factors that you describe are all factors we rarely think of until a disaster happens-----we as drivers just want to get there. I called my brother who does expert testimony------he has been involved in road work since he was a teanager and is a Civil Engineer with advanced degrees and practical experience. He is involved in a case now in another state that did not end up with the same amount of devastation to human life. I will leave it at that. In discussions with him about his work the item that always comes up is how so much of our highway infrastructure needs constant attention and is dated. Bridges don't last forever no more than other structures we engineer. What was new 30 years ago is now old. It's kind of like the new shoes we think are still new but may be 10 or 20 years old and the foundation has given away with time. mj
