In Miami, Florida, a bridge built for use by pedestrians suddenly collapsed on top of passing cars underneath. People were stuck in their cars that had been crushed by the bridge and they could not get out. A total of 6 people were killed from this incident. A woman named Isabella Carrasco drove underneath the bridge only seconds before its collapse. She and other drivers who witnessed the crash raced out of their cars immediately to help those who were injured and couldn’t leave their cars.
This collapse happened in a few, quick seconds, flashing before everyone’s eyes. I wonder what caused this devastating event and if the workers were being careless or if it was a pure accident. I think that with the advancements and technology we have these days, they will be able to fix the damage in a reasonable amount of time. If this were to happen a few centuries ago, then i don’t believe we would have the resources needed to recover as quickly.
Olivia Wall- I heard about this and I think that it is so sad to hear and it is crazy that it was just built.
ReplyDeleteI have also read into this tragedy and I was surprised to see that the company that built this pedestrian bridge also has running projects in North Texas. This news was concerning to me for many reasons.
