<p>Listening to the news today, it is just not clear what justifies the earlier suggestion that the gusset plates are defective in design. The point being stressed tonight, seemingly in rebuttal to the charge of plates being improperly designed, is that the bridge has many different size gusset plates, each designed according to its position in the bridge. There is no indication of how that refutes the charge that the plates are wrongly designed, however. The news tonight almost sounds as if it is re-writing history in that the design flaw story never happened.</p><p>That inspection report linked to an earlier post sure is interesting.</p><p> </p>
