Bridges across wide estuaries are not easy to design and build.

However, the reports are that the bridge in question was up to required
standards for the time it was built (1970s).

Seeing the plans for it, built out on several sections, it reminds me of
the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson (north of the NYC/NJ border). I
don't expect that part of the river gets much ocean-going traffic, though.

Being a diversity hire doesn't make someone a Socialist.

20 Indians, 1 Sir Lankan, sounds like an Indian crew as opposed to a
diverse crew. Probably more pertinently, a cheap crew.

It's not clear at this point that the crew did anything wrong, to me at
least. The game of “whose to blame” has some way to go.

Possibly built by someone with your mathematics ability.

BTW, have you and your mate Nugent worked out how money is created yet?
