Mahakam Bridge II which located in Kutai regency, East Kalimantan, which is often regarded as "The Golden Gate Indonesia" collapsed along about 500 meters on Saturday (26/11/2011) at around 16:15 pm. Longest suspension bridge in Indonesia, Kukar Bridge collapsed on Saturday, November 26, 2011 evening and only takes 30 seconds. Though the bridge was only 10 years old. Some victims were found dead and dozens missing due to splash in the water with a depth of 30 meters. Until now still not yet ascertained the cause of the collapse of the bridge. But when the bridge is being done allegedly repaired the traffic flow is not closed, so that the wire supporting the bridge apart under the weight of large vehicles. Many vehicles which is passing during the Mahakam Bridge II along 720 meters of the collapse was most motorcycles. Also there are several other vehicles such as cars, trucks, and minibuses. Mahakam Bridge collapsed while it was being repaired. A few moments before the collapse, some users see the officer who repair vehicles. It was seen a number of officers appear correct piles and bridge construction. Several officers were seen being brought compressor repair the bridge. The collapse of the bridge led to the violent crushing sound of the pounding and the water so a lot of local people who then panicked. wow...and our bridges is only history now.. many of rumour what the cause of the collapsed of that bridge... what do you think about it?? i attach too that picture..

I was not sure the reason behind the collapse of the bridge. I heard rumor saying that the collapse of the bridge is because the use of building materials that are less than the proportion, that means there is abuse of authority by the person who is in charge of the building. If it really means there is corruption in the construction of the bridge tooking place. I think the corruption on construction projects of public facilities such as bridges and roads will not be tolerated, because it is not only a danger to society but tarnished the good name of a region. If the disaster is only experienced by the local community and how things like that experienced by foreign tourists at the time were crossing the bridge. Perhaps many people will not want to come to our country.

This is very unfortunate. The new bridge was 10 years old, collapsed when there are a lot of passing vehicles. Genesis is very unpredictable. I hope the investigation can be done immediately, and can be immediately known, the cause of the bridge collapsed. Hopefully this will not happen on other bridges.

This news is very unpredictable, and very sad. I did not expect, a bridge that looks strong, and sturdy, collapsing and causing many deaths. It's a lesson, and another bridge, should be researched and viewed its feasibility. Adhyz sorry, I thought you upload photos of collapsed bridges, but it turns out, you upload the photo of the TNI.
