Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse

RE: Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse
At this point I wouldn't even want to guess how the inevitable lawsuit(s) are going to parcel out responsibility for the collapse.  Still seems very premature to be crystal balling the outcome of something so distant in the future.  Even a design fault with one of the cranes in use could be the primary cause of the failure, and as far as I know, I'm the first to suggest that.

Hell, even operating the "Big Blue" heavy lift crane clearly outside of it's wind speed limits did not shield it's manufacturer from some share of the legal judgments for design faults from the Miller Park accident in Milwaukee that killed 3 workers.  And that took years of litigation to work out.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
