Subject: RE: BS: bridge collapse in Washington usa
Q... "Washington's governor says cost to fix will be $15 million. Repair probably will be the outcome."

I am gobsmacked! No way it could actually cost that much to "fix" it. It's just a simple span and the design drawings are done... all the truss caculations are done. I got a buddy across town that could have a JUNIOR engineer detail that sucker with steel avaialble today IN STOCK in less than 48 hours.

Anyone know how I can bid on the job? Gimmie $2M and I am goin ta Disneyland... wait... no... Bobert's pool party and yer all invited on my dime.

$15M? to replace a tiny span? WTF? I see wolves closing in on the flock.
