Given the number of high-profile bridges in this country (many build around the same time as this one) and the amount of time the government has not been properly funding its infrastructure this was bound to happen at some time or another. As usual, state/federal government will only now start taking action to rectify this after there has been a huge failure resulting in loss of life. Granted, this was probably the result of several factors coming together at the wrong time, but it should be no excuse to prevent this problem from increasing.
I think many of those in power should start feeling quite guilty for funneling most of our budget into the Military/National Defense, without thinking about the state of their own country (roads/health care/education, etc).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
