Obviously, bridges kill people, we need to outlaw them!

ABC... reminds me of NASA's "Faster,Better,Cheaper (FBC)". Then we lost a Mars Orbiter and Lander.

this is right where we live...plus my wife's best girlfriend's grandson was the first one killed at Parkland...almost afraid to get out of bed in the morning...

If you mean the Taggart Bridge, yes.

"Accelerated bridge construction" sure sounds like throwing the bridge together and holding everything in place with baling wire and chewing gum.

Yes! I find many correlations of today with Atlas Shrugged. Like NASA: Same as the State Science Institute. Government- run and paid for. Will do whatever the gov’t wants, and the government /deep state want to control the masses. NASA does not publish facts. They make up numbers and statistics to provide the government what they want, especially where Climate Change/Global Warming is concerned.
Scientists and Climate Change/Man-made Global Worming: The same as Dr. Stadler, a government funded scientist working at a government funded organization. Some of the scientists of today who tout Global Warming/Climate Change do so only because they are told to not because it is fact. They use non- absolute terms like “consensus” so they won’t have to actually lie or take responsibility. They say what they are told to say or funding is cut off. If any non-government-funded scientist disagrees he is ostracized, and we are told he/she is not a real scientist and what he says cannot be taken seriously.
Snowflakes/Millennials: The same as that poor kid at Reardon’s Steel Mill, The Wet Nurse. He also was the victim of a terrible educational system and another tragic representative of the costs of that system. He was so confused and wanted to do right. Reardon became his hero and, sadly, he died protecting his hero.

Since I know nothing about the contractual arrangements for this project, I will jump in with my opinion (civil engineer, contractor, bridge design and construction experience, if that even matters). I'm also an experienced curmudgeon.
It will come down to who has the best lawyers to shift the responsibility to the other party to the contract. It appears this was a design/build project (I have no information on that, which makes it easy to state), which is a combination of the above. The goal is to find the party who made the most mistakes (they are always made, in one form or the other), and attempt to get that party to pay the considerable costs of this venture. It's likely the private contractor will go bankrupt, and emerge again in some other form, and the public entity will continue on and change some of the wording of future contracts. There will be lots of courtroom drama if it gets that far, considerable backroom negotiations, and we will find out that each party had some responsibility, and life (for those who survived) will go on.

And here I was thinking that someone offended the bridge causing a micro aggression thus provoking a violent collapse.

Sure looks like a basic manufacturing flaw. The design is clearly dependent on the truss elements to provide section. It looks like these failed.

How many innocents must die before our nation institutes Bridge Control?

Me dino was reading an article about this disaster elsewhere on my PC. In comments below it, someone compared ABC tech to the ancient human brain, pointing out that some structures have stood for thousands of years despite earthquakes.
Ancient Roman aqueducts (bridges for water) swam into me dino's mind while I was writing above~

And this isn't the first time that the bridge design company has gotten in trouble either.

Lol, that was my first thought I had when I heard this on the news.

“The bridge was constructed using an innovative approach called accelerated bridge construction (ABC), meant to reduce potential risks to workers, commuters and pedestrians and prevent traffic tie-ups in the area. It was moved into place on Saturday.”

Seems to be some new big government way of building things,
“ABC is a paradigm shift in the project planning and procurement approach where the need to minimize mobility impacts which occur due to onsite construction activities are elevated to a higher priority.”

If only it had been constructed of Rearden metal.
