bridges don't just collapse in organised developed nations, they are supposed to be inspected every year by maintenance engineers. and be torn down before they could collapse.

but since this is italy the land where the mafia steals steel from the construction sides and is exporting that business to rest of europe. this event is a good ocasion sending some social memes.

now lets see about the bridge maintenance routine. if mafia didnt stole the steel during the construction next might be -> no functional maintenance inspections or even worse -> no maintenance inspections at all.

i really wasn't surprised that this happened in italy. would have been strange to see that happening in germany, sweeden or england.....
