Wow. Local news really sucks. Also saw this paragraph in full link:

Videos of the collapse show that the concrete, prefabricated segment of the bridge started crumbling on the same end of the span where the tower redesign occurred, two days after an engineer on the project reported cracks in the same location. The segment that failed had been placed atop the pylon's footing, and the taller tower section was to be installed later.

It does state it is unclear if design changes contributed but that paragraph (actually the whole report) makes me wonder about the engineer who concluded the cracks were not a safety issue. I'm not an engineer so hard to do much but read stuff like that and wonder.
