Could be a capacity issue, could be laxed construction standards, or could even be corruption where supplies used for it were not bought and money was pocketed. The point is someone will have to answer for this and it was in no way just some random accident and was clearly negligence or possibly willful disregard for safety at the very least.

All of the above most likely. It’s 140 year old bridge so even with qualified maintenance which it doesn’t look like they had I don’t think the people should be out there doing that and there should be a weight allowance respected and enforced.
