A Pittsburgh bridge collapsed Friday morning, sending multiple vehicles and a public bus plummeting into a park below, officials said. Ten people suffered minor injuries and four people were taken to area hospitals, but none of the injuries were life-threatening, The collapse happened just hours before President Biden traveled to the area to speak at a previously scheduled event about the $1 trillion infrastructure bill he signed into law last year.
"We have been so far behind on infrastructure for so many years it's just mind-boggling," Mr. Biden told a group of elected officials and first responders during a visit to the collapse site."...We used to be number one in the world.""With him coming today to talk about this infrastructure bill, to discuss why this funding is so important, today is significant," the mayor told reporters.
Images from the scene showed vehicles piled up amid the rubble. Gas lines running along the bridge ruptured, causing a large leak, and crews shut off the lines, officialsFive vehicles and an Allegheny County Port Authority bus were on the overpass when it collapsed into Frick Park below at around 6:40 a.m., officials said in the statementCrews were searching the area to see if anyone may have been in the park when the collapse happened.
The bridge was last inspected in September, Gainey told reporters. Fire Chief Darryl Jones said authorities were investigating what caused the collapse.
Very little boggles that mind nowadays.
FATHER GOD IS CLOSER THAN WE THINK....THIS WAS AN INTENTIONAL HIT BY THE UNIVERSE TO PROVE THAT IT IS TIME

Can’t wait for Pete to report on each bridge as they are funded and completed.
I am glad no one was seriously injured or killed. This bridge collapse symbolizes the Biden Administration’s complete & utter failure in their first year in office.
Wow … we didn’t know that … so what did you all do with the funds already allocated for the roads and bridges annually?
