More people missing in Bridge Collapse

The death toll stands at 4, but the number of missing people has reached 30.

what a very sad story.

A bridge just doesn't decay over night.

They are built to last 50-100 years, so signs of degradation usually show up much sooner.

All this money going overseas and our very infrastructure is collapsing.

It's a horrible cycle...the money that should have been spent on repairing the bridge will now go to the families as damages for the lives that never should have been lost in the first place.

The sick thing is, is that now the money will be spent on the bridge anyway and the bridge will be repaired. So all that was achieved is 30+ lives lost, hundreds of millions in damages, millions in lawsuits and millions in studies to determine "What went wrong"...all because the State government couldn't put the funding together to fix the bridge in the first place. It probably would have cost a few hundred thousand dollars...a very small percentage of what it will cost now!

Horrible

What makes people act the way they do?

With all the recalls associated with Chinese products, do you look at the label now to see where a product is made?

NEW POLL: What percentage of baseball players were taking steriods, HGH or other enhancing drugs (like amphetamines) before the rules changes instituted by MLB?

Which would you prefer?

You're at the Final table of the WSOP. You get dealt 2 Aces. What do you do?
