- Knuckleup, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51Maybe it's time to rethink this bridge thing.
- trghpy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47Oh sure once again China has to best us.
...
Whats next from China, 15+ coal miners trapped? - SlantyEyes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26America. Always the trend setter.
Do we buy bridges from China too? - ramong, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I wouldn't trade places with the guy who built that bridge for all the whiskey in Scotland.
- OHiggins, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Because they didn't have heavy cars and trucks driving on them in numbers far greater then they had. Come on, use your head.
- Conwaysb0718, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12they always seem to be outdoing us with their cheap knock-offs...
- humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11They(Chinese) just have to be in first place all the time.
- dannyapplesauce, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Exactly. People are such lemmings, giving into the NEWEST histeria. Can't wait till a pot hole is found to be the cause of a 321 car pile up, and America starts its war on potholes and the histeria ensues over that ... =/ meh
Boycott bridges ... I'm joing MAOB (Mother's Aainst Old Bridges) and using my flying car to get to work from this point forward... - scheibs14, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Pictures:
http://www.abcnews.go.com/International/popup?id=3477519&contentIndex=1&page=1 - DiggsOnlyJew, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Did those bridges support 25 ton trucks driving over them everyday?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Amen to that. My guess is he'll kill himself first.
- DesignNerd, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11okay, the race is on!
who can rebuild faster?
answer: China. Why? Because China does not care about its people, and we are still trying to figure out how to block hurricanes. - geneticlemon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Hey, the Greeks and Romans made GREAT bridges ... still standing in fact. Not the bridge's fault that humans are dumb as hell these days ...
- Falldog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/China/Seven_killed_in_northwest_China_mine_accident/articleshow/2276510.cms
To be fair, China has a lot more miner fatalities than the US, and are pretty far behind when it comes to mine safety. - dorkus999, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Uh, the problem with the bridge is that it was MADE IN CHINA.
- dawnraid101, on 10/10/2007, -5/+121 billion - 79 = Nobody cares
- doskir, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5by shooting himself in the head, twice
- filefly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5In related news, Shirley Phelps Roper blames "fags."
- MalDON, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6What is news then?
- gusevx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Flying cars eliminate the use of bridges.
- cusoman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5You mean half standing. But yeah, they've definitely stood the test of time much more than any modern bridges.
- HenvY, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Can you hear that? That's the sound of rifles being cocked.
- Tobark, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Sticker found on underside of bridge: Made In Taiwan
- listrophy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Have some tact. People died in both collapses.
- Dillenger69, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5First we have a bridge collapse, then they have one too.
copycats.
I'm sure there's patent infringement involved somehow. - alciadanet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4But they know how to keep it secret
- chenyu768, on 10/10/2007, -4/+714 dead + 65 missing = 79 dead
- SimonGray, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3According to the latest article by the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/2/hi/asia-pacific/6945301.stm):
at least 29 dead - mungk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well considering that the Federal Highway Administration says that the maximum gross weight for vehicles on interstate highways is 80,000 pounds or 40 tons, I'd guess that they've weighed 25 tons or more for quite a while now.
Federal commercial vehicle maximum standards on the Interstate Highway System are:
Single Axle: 20,000 pounds
Tandem Axle: 34,000 pounds
Gross Vehicle Weight: 80,000 pounds - jonnyeh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I wonder why we don't see the roman bridges that collapsed. Oh, I know! They collapsed!!
- SquigglyP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Obviously bridges are just too dangerous. We must eliminate bridges for the common good of all mankind.
- pantysniffer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Have some tact, this is Digg, not church.
- mal1964, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Get a rope!
- dirtyhand, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3The bridge bandit stikes again!
- jaredvolkl, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2When a bridge collapses, it makes a big pile of rubble and sadly, people get trapped in it.
- thekms, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If you want to correct a factual error, cite sources.
- joe7845, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Nah, probably confirmation bias.
- TheHydrogens, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4news
–noun
1. a report of a recent event; intelligence; information: His family has had no news of his whereabouts for months.
Thats why. - monkeyrun, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4This is Digg.
China + Something = News - DarKnight90, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Awsome.
- thatbuncha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1no, they only did this cuz we did it. that is the only reason. jeeeeeez. only stuff that makes front page news is stuff that happens in America first.
- rheaume, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Thats what happens when you use cheap local unskilled labor to build major construction projects...
- thatbuncha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i think those are in line right after pigs.
- SimonGray, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And the recent collapse in America collapsed because it was MADE IN USA... hm...
- donotdigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1the weight of the lead paint was probably the cause.
- topace3000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think that's the idea, yeah.
- nikkilai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I sense that this is the work of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!
- zolaar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Keep in mind that all the regular, crappy Greek & Roman bridges collapsed one or two *thousand* years ago.
- hansondr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If a bridge collapses in China do scientologists show up to offer "help"?
- Riotblade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Osama? OH NO I FORGOT THE NAME HAD BEEN JYNXED
