If the I-35 bridge collapse in MN brings anything good, it may be to draw some serious political attention (although the last three words seem an oxymoron in these benighted times) to our crumbling lifelines. A reporter was told, when he got indignant that the I-35 bridge was classified "deficient," that 160,000 other bridges in the U.S. were similarly tagged. That shut him up.
Unfortunately, it didn't shut them all up. Actual words seen on-screen on a cable news channel this morning:
The bridge fell
from the sky
on a train
in the river
where's your brain? (Italics mine)
I suppose they could have reincarnated Dr. Seuss to do the on-screen text....
