It was apparently some sort of "instant bridge" that was installed in just a few hours. Seems like someone didn't quite go through all the details like you would when planning the construction of a traditional bridge. Seems crazy to risk it if it was a sort of experimental technology. I wonder how many of these have been installed before, if any. In any case, seems like tragedy resulting from hurried decision making.

Terrible no matter what the case.

Who needs code when money is exchanging hands

They’ll fire a bricklayer and dock some engineer for the time he spent under the debris.

There's some engineers and safety inspectors feeling like complete crap tonight. Justifiably so.

So that's why Black Francis has been gone so long.
