Spanned 8 lanes of traffic, crushed occupied vehicles, may have had work crew on it at time of collapse.
Major structural failure. Rescue/recovery operations ongoing.
This is what you get when you put profits over safety. It isn't always good to do things on the quick.
Regardless of the structural failure, it still amounts to not having the proper protocol and redundancy ahead of time. Or even with those things, an unreasonable demand by the top, that can lead workers to rush.
Same crap can be said with Wells Faro. That idiot CEO can claim all he wants he didn't know, but he is in charge of what the sales goals are and that climate will cause workers to do things they would not take risks at if they had reasonable conditions.
This climate of "let the rich do whatever they want" lead Duke Energy to dump coal ash. It lead to the dumping of toxic levels of Genex in North Carolina's rivers.
I don't say this as meaning end the private sector. I don't want that at all. But we still have a climate driven by putting profits and shareholders above safety.
