Support Truly unique. I'm rather surprised the bridge collapse doesn't have it's own article... Figured it would have. Dusty777 02:53, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Tbh Dusty the article this is in is pretty much entirely about the colapse - quite interesting reading... Especially the part that at least 70,000 other bridges in the US had the same safety rating as this bridge at the time it collapsed...... gazhiley 07:53, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support though I prefer some of the wider shots that show it is a bridge. Belle (talk) 09:29, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah I agree Belle - the couple I had a look at though were quite poor pictures quality/res wise... Tis a shame... gazhiley 10:41, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
