We, in the US, probably have hundreds of bridges in similar disrepair. Infrastructure costs money, which nobody wants to pay for. It’s pitiful.

Hundreds? Try TENS OF THOUSANDS. As in 54,259 of the nation's 612,677 bridges are rated "structurally deficient," while 226,837 have "identified repair needs," including 1 in 3 Interstate highway bridges. But the wealthy got tax cuts, woohoo!https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/over-54000-american-bridges-structurally-deficient-analysis-of-new-federal-data-shows-300589542.html …

Well, all long as we have our priorities straight.

Such tragedy never hits from the blue. Turns out many knew of the potential disaster. Sadly, economic considerations overruled. Utter tragedy! Lives lost.

Smh there's always red flags or signs before a tragedy happens... Just that nobody cares to listen to it

"And how much of Italy’s aging, often neglected infrastructure is also at risk of failure?" I expect more from
@nytimes than smug, judgmental, and ethnocentric language and such imperious, puritanically tinged statements about another country's infrastructure! -
If
@nytimes really gives a care it would be worded, "And how much of Americas aging, often neglected infrastructure is also at risk of failure?" Instead they come off high and mighty.

How many bridges in the US are in the same state of disrepair? What ever happened to infrastructure week?

And yet, over the last decade, they cut the kind of infrastructure work that would've fixed this by more than two-thirds. That's what austerity gets you. A few billion saved now in exchange for tens of billions in damages because you kicked the can down on the road.
