Thanks Guys for opening this discussion , I just hope it Stays out of the hands and minds of those who care nothing about learning from this terrible failure that killed 6 and possibly more people . the fact these deaths occurred should silence anyone from making less than a caring intelectual comment.. . i too have been sifting thru all the news and whatever pix and design engineering flaws, to grasp what really happened . Today I learned that the center pole and the suspension legs were designed with the lesser intent of stabilizing the bridge and the greater intent of making a pretty picture for yrs to come. Not Until i Realized that fact , I too , Believed that allowing the public under a bridge while under construction without the main suspension arms in place was extremely negligent .Others stated and I agree , The Supports were not placed as the engineers had originally intended.. some one barn yard engineered figured and reasoned they could adjust load tensioners and all would be well,.As Soon as that thought became reality , all traffic beneath the bridge should had been re routed ,,BECAUSE , BY adjusting YOU are Really testing Loads that have YET to be PROVEN . THIS is Where and when The Health Safety and welfare of the public was left wide open ,. LOTS of Questions here,.sadly the families will sue. As They Should..

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package.
