Reply to comment by dogsent in 130 killed as bridge collapses in Gujarat (India), days after reopening by techaddict0099

Just for clarification, was a ~100 year old bridge that was recently re-opened after repairs.

To me, stinks of corruption, where government officials and MPs/MLAs would pocket up to ~50% of the tender amount in various bribes, leaving only the rest for the actual construction and margin for the construction company.

While this corruption almost certainly did happen, it's also likely that the bridge was way overloaded due to poor crowd management
