Explosion near Grand Central Terminal

<< < (8/9) > >>

ChadTower:

A couple of years ago Romney ordered MA to closely inspect all bridges and overpasses owned by the state.  He funded it and everything... half the sites never got looked at, half of what did came back deficient, and yet all of the funds were used up.  No work was done to any of the sites, just inspections.

Even when leadership is directing gov't to do the right thing, gov't does not do the right thing.

billf:
Minnesota is ranked third best when it comes to "safest" bridges.  Massachusetts, second worst.

ChadTower:

I'm going to guess that MA are also much older on average.  Been there longer.

It could have been much worse. I'm sure some of you have heard of this accident:

Which in turn is nothing compared to the Hyatt walkway collapse.
