Federal investigators have identified a design flaw as the cause of last year's Interstate 35W Minneapolis bridge collapse that killed 13 people and injured about 100, a congressional official said Tuesday. The official, who was briefed by the National Transportation Safety Board, said that investigators found a design flaw in the bridge's gusset plates, which are the steel plates that tie steel beams together. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity so as not to pre-empt an update being provided later Tuesday by the NTSB chairman, Mark V. Rosenker. This was known several months ago....its not new news. Furthermore, people weren't blaming bush for the bridge's design, they were blaming him, and I might add appropriately, for diverting monies to Iraq that could have been used for infrastructure improvements in this country. The two wars will soon cost a trillion dollars. Do you know how much infrastructure improvement could have been down with that money......a lot. It makes me sick. I hate Bush with a passion. He has turned the world upside down and cost the US a fortune in the process. ABB
