It really baffles how such bridge can actually fall off and gave in like that. It didn't seem like old to me.

Looks like it's back to the drawing board and make a better bridge. Some people were injured in this tragedy. The truck almost made it though.

Saw this yesterday how awful and they reckon it was due to the very strong winds that had happened there recently.
Wear and tear I call it.

You would think that they would have been checking the bridge for any signs of strain would´nt you I suppose they just plain forgot about it.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I don't know. Right now in my opinion, maybe they are lacking in that job.

It's structural engineering and design fault, the news made me nervous because my eldest son's ship anchored just a couple of weeks ago in Taiwan.

@JustBhem They're still investigating. But in my opinion, they didn't put underground support.

@Letranknight2015 yes. I think it’s a suspension bridge. You know, whenever we drive through skyway, i feel so paranoid it may collapse.

Looks like it was a suspension bridge, allowing boats unhindered passage under it.

Wow, never seen nothing like it. Would not think a bridge would collapse like that.

Hello @Alexandoy Well, that could be another possibility, the bridge isn't that old so something really went wrong with the design.
