What the [censored] is wrong with our infrastructure that the pyramids, random Incan temples, and the Coliseum are in damn good condition after thousands of years but with modern technology bridges collapse after 30 ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but millions of cars don't drive over those things every year.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this bridge was designed to have millions of cars drive over it, no? What happened, the 1,000,001st car broke it?

You are bad at thinking. Try this: how many bridges are there in the US like 35W river bridge? Is a 100% error-proof rate for eternity reasonable? So, somewhere, some bridge is going to probably be the one that collapses right?

Sphere,

How many bridges do we have in the US? How many have collapsed in the past 10 years?

For those of you who haven't heard, a big bridge (about 1/2 mile long, 4 lane and bumper to bumper with traffic) in Minneapolis collapsed last night over the Mississippi River, sending 50+ cars into the water 70 feet below. Big mess. 4 confirmed deaths, 30 still missing. I live a few blocks away.
