May have been an edit after you read the article, but this is telling:
Late Thursday, came the first definitive word from a government official about what was being done on the bridge when it fell. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL, said in a Twitter post that: “The cables that suspend the #Miami bridge had loosened & the engineering firm ordered that they be tightened. They were being tightened when it collapsed today.”
If the suspending cables pass through the concrete, makes me wonder if they snapped during the tests & the whole structure was tgen supported by just the concrete.
Great shades of the T-Dance skywalk collapse.
