NYC building in imminent danger of collapse

[nearwildheaven]

Your post made me think of THIS averted disaster, when a man who was inspecting an Interstate bridge over the Mississippi River near Memphis saw a crack that was dangerous enough, he called 911 to get the road closed off before he even notified his supervisors.

I-40 Bridge (into Memphis) closed for emergency inspection [update - bridge has been re-opened]

I-40 is a major cross country corridor. This bridge crosses the Mississippi River into Memphis. Connects Arkansas and Tennessee. They’re rerouting traffic over I-55. This isn’t just a local problem. This could impact the country’s shipping. River passage under the bridge is also closed. There’s a press conference later today. I hope this isn’t a long closure. Arkansas Department of Transportation and Tennessee Department of Transportation are looking into this problem.
