Interstate 35W bridge collapsed Mississippi

Yesterday swr3, my favourite radio broadcaster, talked about the collapsed bridge in the USA.

They said “Still the reason for the accident eludes us”.

WTF. Do they really think, that they will find the reason that fast?

Of course they also talked with ‘the man from the street’ who of course said “Oh, I am very afraid to cross a bridge” and they got an expert who talked about the risk of collapsing bridges in Germany.

My point? Same thing happened in Basel when a experimental aircraft hit a building. Is this really the news we want and need to hear?

I think it is so cheap. Something happens, talk to some bystanders, call some experts move to the next story.

What I miss, is an investigative approach. Not just tell us what has happened, but try to find out what will happen in the future by following leads and get the information beforehand.

Of course this would need more manpower but would also be more helpful.
