An American Infrastructure Problem: The I-35W Minneapolis Bridge Collapse

Video Description

How & Why of the I-35W Mississippi River Highway Bridge Collapse in Minnesota - Aug 1st, 2007. A story of industry-wide negligence, a decades long nationwide lack of understanding bridge nodes and an investigation & rescue that all stand as leading examples to this day. *Correction: at 8min 45s I mistakenly referred to MnDOT as the "Minneapolis" Department of Transportation. It is of course, Minnesota. ▶REFERENCES, SOURCES & FEATURED MEDIA: https://pastebin.com/x8aLE64L ▶MUSIC: Produced by Mors - https://www.beatstars.com/mors/feed ▶ TOSS A COIN TO YOUR RESEARCHER? https://www.patreon.com/BrickImmortar Special Thanks, You All Rock For Real!
