Here is an informative piece that focuses on the latest engineering news.<a href="http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2007/08/09/888124-metal-plates-examined-in-bridge-collapse">http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2007/08/09/888124-metal-plates-examined-in-bridge-collapse</a>A quote from the article: "On Thursday, NTSB officials said "people have run maybe a little bit too far" with the statement on the gussets." This is the backpedaling that I detected in yesterday evening's local news on the gusset plates.  In suggesting that people may have run too far with the statement on the gussets, what I don't get is the basis for the statement in the first place.  The only way to know whether the gussets were inadequate in design is to analyze the design.  A damaged gusset plate does not prove anything about its design.  So how can they throw out the suggestion of inadequate design without actually seeing the mathematics that point that way?  And if there is mathematics that points that way, why haven't they revealed that?  Instead they tell us that we have run a little bit too far.
