On Wednesday, August 1st at 6:05 PM the 35W 8 lane bridge collapsed located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I myself live in Duluth, Minnesota about 150 miles north so I was pretty freaked out.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/03/bridge.structure/index.html#cnnSTCText

Last time I checked, their were 5 confirmed dead

My thoughts and prayers are to the familys, victims, and others affected by this terrible tragedy.

It's rediculous. How many accidents have had major warning signs? New Orleans, the other bridge that colapsed a few years ago. FFS, why don't we have an agency that monitors this type of shit. People are always cutting corners to save money, and then a bunch of people never come home to their families after a day of work.

Yeah this is on UK news all the time, insane stuff huh? Apparently there was a school bus with like 52 people on that was SO close to the edge, thank god it didnt fall.

Edit

Masters, the fuck are you talking about? Bridge was inspected last year, this bridge has "puzzled scientists" because it just suddenly collapsed.

I just need to say that the fact that this topic is only coming around today is really sad. This happened two days ago, and only now the message is getting through. It kinda shows how little everyone here is in touch with the real world. Bring on the -rep

Anyway, all of this can be linked, as masterz said, to the people holding the money, the politics. People die because the men in power want to cut budgets from particular parts of the tax dollar (like bridge and highway maintenance as seen here) to direct the flow of money into their pockets. It's a shame that people always care more about the money that they already have enough of rather than the average tax paying person who gave it do them. Thats humanity for you.

Thats humanity for you.Yup, I think people should be able to vote whether government spends money on things, the war is costing a ton of money, is bush and his goonies paying? of course not, instead they are getting paid themselves, for spending other peoples money. Its truely insane, happens in every country though :P

I'm sure road tax covers roads and bridges repair, that is if USA has road tax (I dont think they have)

ALso, experts think if any thing it was pigeons wearing down the steel gurders holding up the bridge (this was as of 1st aug might have changed now.)

The bridge was deemed unstable in 1990. This is 2007.

i guess like 20 years ago it was rated structurally deficient, and was given a 50/100 on a safety scale. And there are many in the same condition as it. I heard on CNN that it would cost 9.4 Billion a year for 20 years to repair all US bridges.

I wonder if it ever occurred to them how much easier it would be to maintain them properly than clean up the mess when they do collapse, not to mention the compo payouts for the families and all the fucking trauma.

Well, for once, people can't take the "Blame Bush!" approach.

EDIT: I take that back. It collapsed during his presidency, which means he obviously planted C4 charges to deliberately collapse the bridge.

I'd think the majority of the people would understand sarcasm, no matter how crappy my sarcasm is, I'm not a cruel heartless bastard who enjoys a bunch of 6 year olds meeting their grave at the bottom of a river (thanks for the-rep on that). This was a tragedy, I'll admit it, but I care less about the dead people rather than the living people who allow things like that to happen. Anyone here who acts like they care is really kinda lost. You might think about it, take a second to take it in, but in reality people mistake caring for different emotions which would be anger and confusion. People are angry at the authorities for doing a crap job at keeping us safe. They're also confused why, even after reports state this bridge, and many others, have been in need of repair, and yet that repair never comes for years after the reports.

Bottom line, unless you loose sleep at night over something like this, or take great action over it, your simply just another idle citizen. Just like the environmentalist who buys products made from china and plays on their Ps2 during protests.

That will make you scared. The problem about all the bridges structurally deficient at the same time, is because they were all built at the same time, and like i said before if we wanted to repair them all it would cost 9.4 Billion a year for 20 years.

The thing that destroys these bridges are all the salt that they put on them in the winter. Its really sad seeing ho theres other solutions then salt, but they cost more.

Uh, hello? We do more than troll http://h2vista.net/ daily. I heard about this the day it happened on my local news channel. I discussed it with my mother and her friend, who were right in front of me at the time of the report. The next day, I discussed it with my co-workers in the break room.

If anything, it should show how slow real-world news is to hit a forum based around discussion of a video game.

Right. Crack a stupid and offensive joke, and then attempt to play it off cool. I practically invented that bit when I found myself unable to shut my mouth at one point in middle school. The fact that you came into the thread all condescending and know-it-allish doesn't help your image at all.

You aren't proving anything Flyboy, this is a forums for discussion. You're just agreeing with my post.

You see, I was on holiday when this happened. How depressing would it be for me to go to a freaking internet cafe about 2 miles from where I am to just to talk about something I know has happened.

You're starting shit with nobody son. You're saying it's upsetting no-one posted this 2 days ago. Maybe you didn't know about it until it was posted either eh? You say people have no lives. People comment the way they did in this thread because they're discussing it, not because they just heard it.

First of all, let me clarify that I heard about this within an hour of when it happened. So you can forget that deal Rosco. Second, my way of thinking on people isn't exclusively derived from the fact someone didn't post this on a forum the day it came out. I'm pointing the fact out, but I can go through a number of different reasons why I think society is stupid. And I agree that there is no point on going to a internet cafe' or just going online to this forum, or going online at all for this kind of subject. However, lets check out the population of this forum shall we. Either everyone here decided not to discuses this until their own priorities settled, or just didn't care about a subject like this on a Halo forum, both of which I think are alright. But then, there are the hundreds of other people on here, guess what they would do? After hearing this tragedy and getting some kind of info they might go and do some things, maybe eat a meal, play a game or watch TV, but at night when they log on here (I do at least once a day), I'm 100&#37; sure those people would post something on this. But seeing as we saw this topic two days after the event makes me infer that a lot of people had no idea that this happened until around that time.

Denying that the US is the super power of the world, weather you or I like it or not is like denying Rome owned all of Europe. The US is still a super power, a good super power is the question. And yes I'm stating the obvious, and yes I wasn't alive back then. Nor are a lot of people preaching about Roman history. It's the same fucking deal. You can realize what went on back then though, not with first hand knowledge, but you can get a pretty good picture of what did go on by listening to first hand sources from books or people who are still alive.

Look, I might not be a historian, and I might just be an asshole, but I'm certainly not an idiot. The way society has changed in modern democracy has changed big time over the past fifty years. The world is shrinking (figuratively not literally) and with a lot of information flying back and forth each way people are starting to become followers and puppets to what the government and media tells them.

Also, I'm obviously not the only one sick of your know-it-all attitude. Neither of us were around back then and very few members on this site were, but at least the rest of us have the good sense not to make idiotic assumptions about that time period based on hearsay and exaggerated rhetoric spewed by ignorant zealots who use weak-willed and equally uninformed children like yourself to benefit themselves.

Wrong about the degrading America and the stupidity of the average youth!? Jesus man, i have no where to start, there's just too much of it. I'm going to agree with everyone else and end this little tea party, because though I do enjoy arguing, I don't enjoy talking to people like you who lack an open mind, seeing as anything I say from this point out obviously deflect off your shinny fat head.

Yes, you did upset me :saddowns:.

Where did offending american youths come in, you're arguing with an Austrailian guy and a British guy, why are you taking shots at a bunch of kids who are american?

Considering he's only 15 himself and quite obviously a bigoted brat, I'm wondering that too.

Ah, my age obviusly effects my judgment. Making me an ignorant child, not worthy of an opinion and entitled to go with the flow of the public. To worship "god" and listen to greenday all the time eh?

If you wanted this damn topic to end then you could have stopped countering, and none of this would have kept going on. I tried to end it, but you continue on the offense, odd how you want this to stop and continue edging it forth.

And what I say aren't assumptions, and as it was previously pointed out, I'm arguing with a British and Australian guy, meaning even though I'm young, I should keep the credibility here. And I don't base this off of crap I pull out of my ass. I have enough information from several resources to form at least an opinion on this matter. America is dying, thats my opinion, everyone knows it, including you might I add, don't agree with my reasoning, too fucking bad. I'm not some little prick you can brush off, the more you come at me the more I'll come back, and though I obviusly don't have support on topics like this from multiple people, that doesn't mean I'm not going to stop talking.

So, for both our sakes, shut the fuck up...

Your age shows exactly that. Don't worry though. We all went through that phase of "I know everything because I read Wikipedia/watch MTV!" Come back in a few years and we'll accept you with open arms.

You assumed we were american, by saying how american youth is stupid. Now you're trying to get out of that logic by saying it in general, you failed, you lost.

Hey! Not all 15 year olds are "bigoted brats."

I'm 15
I know that, and I never intended for anyone to take my statement in that manner. I was merely questioning how he could supposedly know so much about the 70s when he wasn't even born until the 90s, and stating that he is indeed bigoted.


Ah, my age obviusly effects my judgment. Making me an ignorant child, not worthy of an opinion and entitled to go with the flow of the public. To worship "god" and listen to greenday all the time eh?
Wow, here was me thinking you couldn't get any more ignorant, yet you decide to go with the "YOU HATE ME JUST CUZ I DONT BELIEVE IN GOD AND I H8 GREEN DAY" tack. You fucking tool, the flow of the public? You wouldn't know about that if it slapped you in the face. You think the general public all listen to Green Day and worship God? Wow. Have you ever actually stepped outside of your own home?


If you wanted this damn topic to end then you could have stopped countering, and none of this would have kept going on. I tried to end it, but you continue on the offense, odd how you want this to stop and continue edging it forth.
If you wanted the topic to stop, you'd apologise for making such idiot and generalising statements and assuming you know it all, and then leave. Don't you try and blame me for continuing it when you could've stopped it just as easily.


And what I say aren't assumptions
Oh, so I take it you've spent the last few decades researching society then.

...Yeah, I thought so.


and as it was previously pointed out, I'm arguing with a British and Australian guy, meaning even though I'm young, I should keep the credibility here.
Because 15-year-old, arrogant Americans know best? http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-jerkbag.gif

God, I feel sorry for those in the US who are actually intelligent. It's idiots like you that give your country such a bad name.


And I don't base this off of crap I pull out of my ass.
Could've fooled me.


I have enough information from several resources to form at least an opinion on this matter.
Current affairs shows and Dr. Phil don't count, try again.


America is dying, thats my opinion, everyone knows it, including you might I add, don't agree with my reasoning, too fucking bad.
It's idiots like you bringing it down, but it's hardly dying. Don't agree with my reasoning? Try getting an education, then you might.


I'm not some little prick you can brush off, the more you come at me the more I'll come back, and though I obviusly don't have support on topics like this from multiple people, that doesn't mean I'm not going to stop talking.
Don't try and act tough, little one. If you had the sense you think you do, you'd have realised that there's a reason why almost nobody on this site attempts to argue with me. Someone with as little intelligence as you won't be a problem.


So, for both our sakes, shut the fuck up...
Fucking make me, bitch.

I'm sorry I'm just getting tired of your crap Flyboy. I generally don't jump into arguements like this but I'm seriously just getting tired of this.


Ah, my age obviusly effects my judgment. Making me an ignorant child, not worthy of an opinion and entitled to go with the flow of the public. To worship "god" and listen to greenday all the time eh?

Oh how wrong that statement was. By the way I'm merely 13 and I know that not everyone here worships God and listens to Greenday. Have you had a look around society in the last 4-5 years huh?

If you wanted this damn topic to end then you could have stopped countering, and none of this would have kept going on. I tried to end it, but you continue on the offense, odd how you want this to stop and continue edging it forth.

It's your idiotic statements that made him counter (and quite recently me too). The only reason that this keeps going on is because YOU can't stop posting idiotic statements that just further push this arguement forward. If anything the one who should stop countering is you.

And what I say aren't assumptions, and as it was previously pointed out, I'm arguing with a British and Australian guy, meaning even though I'm young, I should keep the credibility here.

I'm sorry what? I mean I'm 13 and I can already say I know more about what societies like in this country. And I've only been living here for 9 years here yah know.

And I don't base this off of crap I pull out of my ass. I have enough information from several resources to form at least an opinion on this matter. America is dying, thats my opinion, everyone knows it, including you might I add, don't agree with my reasoning, too fucking bad.

I have to say America is dying. Why? Because of the Idiots that run this country and will grow up to run this country. Like you for example.

I'm not some little prick you can brush off, the more you come at me the more I'll come back, and though I obviusly don't have support on topics like this from multiple people, that doesn't mean I'm not going to stop talking.

^^^I wouldn't mess with him. Hes a tough guy.

So, for both our sakes, shut the fuck up...
