Bridge collapses in Washington state

[rhdoenges]

Nobody appears to have been hurt, though three people have been hospitalized: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_I_5_BRIDGE_COLLAPS...

I hear the US needs jobs; maybe we could rebuild this infrastructure before any more of it collapses.

This doesn't appear to have been a collapse due to unsound infrastructure, but rather a collapse due a truck with an oversize load taking out one or more supporting beams.

Hmm, where have I heard that idea before?
