Rescuers formed a human chain to rescue four people from a commuter bus left dangling off the edge of a collapsed bridge in Pittsburgh early Friday. Photographs from the scene showed the bus - which had three passengers and a driver on board - perched upright on the edge of the bridge. Other rescuers rappelled nearly 150ft to help with the rescue. The two-lane span, on Forbes Avenue over Fern Hollow Creek in Frick Park, came down around 7 a.m, taking multiple vehicles with it. The collapse came hours before President Joe Biden was to visit the city to tout his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, which includes bridge maintenance.

Just coincidence? Just happened to happen when Biden was coming to town to get his Trillion dollar bill passed?

Had Quid Pro Joe selected Stacy Abrams to be his VP he could have had her precede him on all bridges to check for structural integrity.

We need the really important details on the equity of the rescue! How many people were black or brown? Did the whites, save the whites first? Did they drop and brown or black people? Did any black people save white people? How many? Did anybody rescue the Asians? What this really is, is another tragedy in a Democrat city. Years of decay in a place where big taxes are paid. nothing is repaired. Now people are hurt, hopefully not killed, but certainly traumatized. Imagine the sensation of driving one second and falling the next. Now they face years of environmental studies and bureaucratic rules and regulations that will delay reconstruction while contracts are given to "minority" contractors regardless of experience or expertise. After the bribes are paid to inspectors and the kickbacks are given to the politicians, the taxpayers may have a new bridge. In the meantime they have to find a new way to get from one place to another. As far as that "equity" thing goes, I'll bet "who was what" never crossed the minds of the professional and volunteer rescuers. We are actual Americans, we don't do that.

Incompetent leaders focused on bike lanes electric cars and ignored actual problems for decades. Like many public schools, failure blamed on lack of money. Money was there, but it was wasted.

Ironically, the $1.2 Trillion infrastructure bill does not contain money for bridges, it has been tagged as "human infrastructure, i.e. reparations to the golden children. Wait until a really high bridge goes down and takes several dozen vehicles with it resulting in many deaths.

Decades of neglect by elected pols who campaigned with promises to repair & maintain , ''the Infrastructure,'' but instead diverted the taxpayer funds to other projects, have some accountability for the decay resulting now. Even when voters have voted for designated repaid & maintenance with the designated money to be applied, so how the monies are again diverted, lately to social justice and/or green policies. Sometimes the designated monieshave simply disappeared and no pol claims to know where it went! ...Yet every election they campaign once again on this issue. Biden now claims to have supplymore than enough money to prevent infrastructure disasters such as this, but apparently no shovels have been started, ...again! sigh

"Biden's 1.2TRILLION dollar Infrastructure Bill." $650Billion of which was already pre-allocated, for Stuff like roads, bridges, ports etc. under Trump, Biden added $550Billion, mainly for NON-Infrastructure...Infrastructure. Now the "Bill" is the Biden Bill.

People of Pittsburgh.....Fear not!!! Sec Trans Mayor Pete (who couldn't successfully deal with South Bend's potholes) has the solution to your decrepit bridges (including the one that gave way in recognition of Joe Bye-Done's visit today). He just announced that the over $1Trillion Infrastructure Bill passed last fall has many EQUITY & CLIMATE related clauses in it (never mind that only 9% it was for Bridges & Roads) that'll be the cure to such calamities as this morning's bridge-with-dangling-bus incident. In keeping with Mayor Pete's Equity solution and in keeping with the president supreme court assignment, the only way to get that bridge back up by Monday and every other about to fall down bridge in Steeltown 100% in 30 days. Yup, Equity is the answer.

the bridge has not been identified as associated with an interstate nor US highway. It is therefore tge responsibility of the state or locals - not the federal taxpayer's responsibility.

Thousands packed the Montgomery County Fairgrounds hours before the doors opened for former President Donald Trump’s first Texas MAGA rally since 2019.Nearly everyone was waiting in line for something: Fried food, Trump merchandise, bathrooms or the security line to get in. The masses sporadically broke out in whoops or “Let’s go Brandon” chants. The line of cars waiting to turn into the lot stretched nearly a mile.The outfits would have looked at home at a large music festival.

Birth rates in China are in free fall. And the all-powerful Communist Party of China seems powerless to do anything about it.The National Bureau of Statistics reported that only 10.62 million babies were born last year, down from 12.02 million in 2020, and the lowest number in recorded history. Millennials are the problem — or should I say the generations of only children spawned by the one-child policy. Many Chinese men in their twenties and early thirties seem to have simply given up on life.

With Justice Stephen Breyer officially announcing his retirement on Thursday (a full 24 hours after the White House announced it for him), Senate Democrats will have a chance to fill a Supreme Court seat, likely before the 2022 midterm elections in November. But ever since 2017, when Senate Republicans invoked the nuclear option to confirm Supreme Court justices at a simple majority, instead of at the usual 60 votes necessary to break a filibuster, there has been procedurally little minorities can do to prevent a nomination from moving forward (the outright lies, smears, and chaos tactics Senate Democrats employed against Justice Brett Kavanaugh notwithstanding).
