Washington collapses.

Well, a bridge in Washington State.

(CNN) -- The bright green suits of scuba divers on board a speedboat pierced the dusk, as they perused a mangle of steel girders of a section of bridge that lay collapsed in the waters of a Washington state river late Thursday.
Three people who plunged with their vehicles, a truck and an SUV, into the Skagit River along with the truss structure have been rescued, state authorities said.
"At this point, we don't have indication anyone else went into the water," said incident management spokesman Marcus Deyerin.
Still, a speedboat with the word "Sheriff" beaming in large, white letters from its side, panned from side to side showing the divers various perspectives of the half-submerged structure, as they prepared to splash into the current.

I'm always intrigued as to why such collapses happen...

Poor construction - no wind could do that. Another rush job for minimum specs/cash?

Bridges are generally well inspected every year.

Probably this though.

"An 18-wheeler commercial motor vehicle with a very large container appears to have struck part of the bridge at some point," said Washington State Trooper Mark Francis. "We cannot say at this time if this was prior to the collapse or is the cause of the bridge collapse."

...heads will roll if it was six months ago or more.

The bridge was already deemed suspect.

I got an E-Mail from one of my friends who lives near that bridge.

God is getting really angry that you clowns will not behead the WBC live on air.

Ever notice the WBC worms never protest against incest?

I bet it's guilty. Did it have an alibi?

It was at the bank at the time of the collapse.

Heads will roll if the bridge wasn't immediately shut down after the collision.

It was at the bank at the time of the collapse.

It's claiming that it was at two banks at the same time. Busted!

I'm sensing a lack of truss in his story.
