I-35W Mississippi River bridge

Plenty of other websites have posted articles about last week's bridge collapse - here's the main dope in a nutshell:

Wikipedia, I-35W Mississippi River bridge

The I-35W Mississippi River bridge (officially known as Bridge 9340) was an eight-lane, steel truss arch bridge that carried Interstate 35W across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. During the evening rush hour on August 1, 2007, it suddenly collapsed, killing 13 people and injuring 145. The bridge was Minnesota's fifth busiest, carrying 140,000 vehicles daily. The NTSB cited a design flaw as the likely cause of the collapse, and asserted that additional weight on the bridge at the time of the collapse contributed to the catastrophic failure.

Well, this is embarrassing. I wanted to make some comments about the collapse and I had some very interesting notions in my head when I started this article. I recall saying to myself, "Wait 'til my readers see this - they'll be amazed;" but whatever amazing and coruscating insight I had on the matter has completely escaped from my brain. I have no clue in the slightest what I wanted to say.
