Most of us have heard of a local bridge collapsing here. I and everyone I know are fine. The bridge is in a rather well-to-do neighborhood of Pittsburgh (I've been there a few times) in a highly-regarded park. The coincidence of the collapse happening a few hours before Biden arrived to hawk his infrastructure bill is a bit too convenient to me. "Infrastructure" seems like an innocuous term, but there are some questionable ideas stuffed into it, like any kind of proposed bill/scheme.
Interesting video of aerial footage of the bridge, post-collapse.
A few years ago, in October of 2019, there was a large sinkhole that opened up in downtown Pittsburgh, nearly swallowing a bus whole. Crazy optics--I was able to see it up close, since I worked downtown at the time, pre-Coofid. The sheer size isn't too obvious on photos. It's not related to the bridge collapse but it obviously is being mentioned along side it in a few articles I came across.
