Meanwhile in Pittsburgh

Still can if you're willing to Dukes of Hazard it.
We should just blame @jonKranked, isn't he responsible for PA in here?
that's western PA (where i grew up) i live in eastern PA now. but i know the bridge in question. i found out very early this AM as i still have friends in that area and use that bridge regularly
FLASEFLAGCRISISACTOOORSAAARGH!
back when i lived there there were a lot of anarcho punks. i mean pittsburgh is the home of Aus Rotten.
Yeah, right.
twas a jest-full cross reference pun relating the current diatribe poo flinging in the covid thread
From the direction of the failure I can say with high levels of confidence that gravity was a root cause.
Assessment pre-collapse aside, there was a USGS Event here in CT yesterday. Remembering an Earthquake 10 years ago felt from Maine to NJ area.
I've been doing my own research by looking at that single photo above posted on the internet and I'm not sure. I think it might be that snow on top of the bridge that caused it.
y'all can stop speculating. i grew up in pittsburgh. the bridges were already starting to fall apart when i was a kid. its not any sort of secret.
Says you with your fancy edgducayshun
I blame John S. LaRocca Sr and Gravity.
Is he that traveling salesman who would smoke dope with some dirty hippies in town, was interested in stealing a Stradivarius?
Never liked that guy or his accent.
It is called the rust belt for a reason
They grow them big in PA
As soon as I woke up this morning, this was the first thing I heard about. I drive over this bridge at least once a week, and ride my bike across it and/or under it twice a week on average. In addition to this being my local park for riding, I am also one of the volunteer trail stewards. We may have to reroute one trail that gets pretty close to the bridge.
I'm surprised that this happened so suddenly, but also not given the state of infrastructure around here. Everyone is very lucky that it was early morning and not late afternoon because 5-6pm rush hour usually has backed up traffic sitting on this bridge.
The timing with Biden coming to 'tahn today to talk about infrastructure is impeccable.

They'll really need to coach it out of that situation.
It's all that matters
But that's only what he'll tell you. Do your own research--have you or anyone you know ever even SEEN a gravity?!
Sic [mass] transit gloria.

I think this is two of it.
Do we really know what happened to the bridge ? Someone should ask Joe Rogan.
I nominate Neil Young
A colleague shared this today:

Pick a county, any county. Allegheny would be a good one to start with. So much red.
