CTH: The images are jaw-dropping. Dozens of vehicles plunged well over a hundred feet when a massive section of an elevated/suspension bridge collapsed in Genoa, Italy. The death toll continues to grow (currently 35); and incredibly there were/are actual survivors being pulled from vehicles. The bridge was built in 1967, and there was a very bad storm at the time of the collapse. An eye witness stated he saw a direct lightning strike on the support tower just prior to the moment of failure. more here

“The death toll continues to grow”
They should consider closing the road then.
Of course mention the storm (a global warming related accident) and not the lack of funds for infrastructure because all the money is going toward immigrants
Say what you will about Italian civil engineers, but their mechanical engineers have produced some mighty fine automobiles and firearms. And speaking of firearms, the patron saint of handguns is St. Gabriel Possenti, an Italian.
They invented roads.
Due to Construction, I had the first chance ever to stop on the
7 Mile Bridge in the Keys…..Man does that thing jump….
I was actually getting a tad nervous…..
Bet it was a Union job …

Somebody needs to inform the mafia that those bodies encased in the concrete will eventually decompose. This will leave voids in the structure causing weakness and possibly eventual failure.
The Italians invented concrete.
An article I read claimed the executives in the company maintaining the roads earned an outrageous $100k per year. We have toll collectors that get more.
