Terrible tragedy for many people! I suppose
now someone will compile a list of dodgy
bridges to be avoided. And can inspections
really be objective if a bad report means
extreme economic disruption? It is a
possibility coming up over here. One of our
big suspension bridges is losing wires in the
suspension cables. Microphones have been
installed and hear the occasional ping as they
snap. Rain getting in somewhere. At the
present rate they will be unsafe in ten years
I think. Strange how it makes me remember
pyphon Palin in a notable drama 18 years ago.
It was GBH and he had a mortal fear of going
over bridges. It was funny at the time!
