For national security, this fact may have been better kept secret. One would’ve thought that bridges built more than 33 years ago would’ve had impact protection, it seems like basic engineering. Cost savings usually impact quality & safety. The code didn’t change until 1991. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/francis-scott-key-bridge-collapse-impact-protection-u-s-bridges/

For more information on America’s vulnerable bridges, specifics on the engineering, & safeguards, this WSJ article is good. I found it on Apple News: “These Eight US Bridges Are Most Vulnerable to a Repeat of the Baltimore Crash.” https://apple.news/AmHsZfNXgQfG00u8lVZUuWQ

These are utterly shameless. People are dead. People are missing. And all these evil, opportunists can think to do is spread absurd lies about the for their own self-serving agendas. First they said it was diversity initiatives () that caused the collapse. Then they said it was . Now, it's 's infrastructure policy. These people have absolutely no credibility, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
