1. When the first bridge falls and people die I hope relatives remember to sue
his ass also because he had such an effect on whether or not our bridges got fixed or not.

I will always remember when the bridge in West Virginia broke and all the care fell into the water and I don't remember how many people drowned. It was horrible. It is going to happen again.

2. Didn't we have a deadly bridge collapse in Minneapolis a few years ago?
That evidently didn't change too many minds.

The Silver Bridge collapse. I don't remember the details, but a lot of people died in the Ohio river.
