........it was reported that 80% of America's bridges are defective. It is true you will find that 80% of inspections will find fault. But most do not need immediate repair. That's right. Only 25% need immediate repair, or rather like the MPLS bridge, they needed that immediate repair ten years ago. Case in point, Seattle has a viaduct freeway that was damaged during a 2000 quake. It gets inspected and repaired every few months until the money can be found to replace it. That's ten years after the quake.....we are still driving on a dangerous viaduct, using bubble gum to repair it, because you all need your frigging hotrod aeroplanies.
