Front page today showing bridge - bad timing
 
Am I the only one who saw the photo on the front page and thought at first it was the bridge that collapsed yesterday in Miami? The artist rendition was actually of the new golf cart bridge that will go over the Florida Turnpike.
I'm sure the newspaper front page was already passed the point of making a change. I'm also sure those at the Sun probably also cringed when they saw it too.

From my point of view ... I didn't make any connection with the tragedy in Miami.

Nor did I.

It's the first thing that popped into my head. Then I started to read the story and realized it wasn't.

It IS a flat span like the bridge in Miami and a long one too. Hopefully this awful disaster will make all bridges to be constructed, more scrutinized.

Yes, super bad timing - it makes me remember the bridge collapse in Minneapolis years ago and the nationwide inspection of all bridges. That concern was for old bridges - not new ones. Very sorry for the loss of life and hope something is learned from this tragedy.

Hopefully not the same company

Made no connection what so ever.

It is, as per usual, in the eye of the beholder.

The only silver lining in this story is that the bridge wasn’t open yet to students. Prayers for the families of all the victims and those still in the hospital.

Stop watching the fake news, you would not know about the Miami collapse. I had to look it up when you posted this. TV Daily sun is the only news worth reading. Wish I could get it sent to me in Wisconsin. BTW - The new bridge is Beautiful.

Soon as I saw the picture of the new bridge, it reminds me of the sign going across the entrance to Disney, only thing missing is Mickey and Minnie on each side.
