Shakes my confidence in Chinese engineering/steel.

Sounds like they need to stick to making cheap s*it out of plastic!

Interestingly, they claim that the bridge was designed with a "weak" plate to join girders, but then they immediately follow that up with information about how the City added more weight to the bridge.
Makes one want to know if the design was "weak" when it was designed, or was "weak" by today's standards.
Nah. One political thread at a time is more than enough. :)
