    I-5 bridge in Seattle collapses - history repeats itself

    MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) ? An Interstate 5 bridge over a river north of Seattle collapsed Thursday evening, dumping several vehicles into the water as authorities investigated the cause of the collapse that cut off the state's main north-south thruway and sent three people to the hospital.

    Another major bridge in the same region collapsed back in the 1940. Was it the same builder/engineering firm?

          It was built by the Nalem Bridge Company.

              We're too busy fixing bridges in the middle east right now to worry about this one.

                      Mt Vernon is not Seattle

                      The other bridge was not "in the same region" or even close

                      And they have zero relation to each other in terms of construction and why they failed

                      But I gotta say, your news reporting is many times better than your photography.

                              Sad, but true.

                                  I read somewhere this morning that this bridge was considered "obsolete" by some federal transportation board in 2000 and 2010. Any government official who did not try to replace this bridge should be drawn and quartered...

                                                  Yes, it supposedly was a truck carrying an oversized load.

                                                          History repeats itself? Not the same bridge, not the same location, not the same reason, not the same age, not the same anything. Nothing is repeating itself in your comparison.

                                                          There have been over 75 bridge collapses since 1990. Maybe this is what you meant.
