Submission + - Minneapolis bridge failure blamed on design (bbc.co.uk)
kwerle writes: "Initial findings [into the bridge that collapsed August 2nd, 2007] by the National Transportation Safety Board said metal plates used in construction were not thick enough to bear eventual loads.
It blamed the original 1964 design and not sloppy workmanship.
The bridge failure was mentioned previously on slashdot. There is a lot of information also available at wikinews."
