A Morandi -designed bridge in Genoa suddenly collapsed, with a drop of 145 feet for those driving/walking across it ATT.

What, in your opinion caused it?
A fluke?
Lightning strike?
Lack of investment in the infrastructure?
Negligent maintenance?
A flaw in the design?
If the latter, do all Morandi bridges across Italy and the world need to be closed whilst their integrity is investigated? Any civil engineers in the house?

Rescuers in the northwest Italian city of Genoa are searching into the night for possible survivors after the dramatic collapse of a motorway bridge. Police say at least 26 people were killed and 15 badly hurt, when dozens of vehicles fell 45m (148ft). Reports say cries can be heard from people trapped in the debris. Twelve people are said to be missing. Some 300 firefighters from across Italy have been using sniffer dogs and climbing gear in the search. Hundreds of people were evacuated amid fears other parts of the bridge might fall. |
