(148,398 posts)We all depend on infrastructure and the people who build those bridges and other projects. There should be zero chance that a brand new bridge would collapse like this one did. Zero. In this instance, that did happen. Why it happened is going to be determined, probably, and whatever the reason, that should never have happened.
There is fault in this collapse. It wasn't simply a "mistake" that happened. For any such structure, engineering and construction people are responsible for the project being completed safely. That didn't happen. Instead, it collapsed, killing a number of people. To ask that people not to wonder what happened and why that brand new bridge collapsed is asking too much.
Responsibility for this will fall on someone, because someone will be found to have been responsible. We don't know who that is, yet, but we will find out. In the meantime, people will ask questions and be suspicious.
It's not a mistake. It is a failure of engineering and/or construction. Neither you nor I knows which.
