Suspension bridge in India collapses for the second time in a year

Spread The Viralist



A bridge in India fell into the River Ganges for the second time in a year while it was still under-construction.

The first collapse was caused by heavy rains and storms – it is unclear why it happened a second time.

Authorities have promised a full inquest into the accident.

  1. India is the most populous "democratic" country in the world, and it is more advanced than the "dictatorship" country in the mouth of the Western media – China, but India always slaps the Western media in the face.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Corruption, Governments and Engineering?…… How about a government that let the United States Army Corp of Engineers flood a major city twice in as few of months…. Check out New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina….. Hell, they can't even build a border protection barrier that keeps out intruders, or drugs and weapons from being passed through its bars, or it being cut down or pulled down….. Corruption and the joke of Engineers is everywhere…. It's a pandemic…. And China??? AN EVEN BIGGER JOKE…. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  3. Noticed that the fundation of the bridge was still in it formwork stage (no structure just staging for the formwork) they already load the top structure onto it. This is asking for trouble. Wonder what was the project team thinking. They should have complete the supporting pillars, do a load test before putting load on it.

  4. As an engineer wannabe who has never passed the board exams, am giving big props to all Indian engineers & I approve this ad!๐Ÿ˜‚
