What a disaster again

Terrorism smell, except if there were earlier signs of damage on construction

I wish that deaths number will stay as low as is now, for such a huge incident

CNN has a surveillance camera tape showing the moment it collapsed.

That's a nightmare for every driver.

"Normal" accidents happen more often. Although tragedies, we come to expect them more and are not as shocked when we hear of them. Having a bridge fall out from under you while driving does not happen often at all. This is not the kind of accident people are use to seeing on the news. There was more than likely an oversight on the integrity of the bridge and an investigation will follow as to what went wrong.
