<p>Yes the collapse was just the opening act of this fiasco. Multiple investigations of the cause are underway. I would be surprised if they all reached the same conclusion, considering the complexity of the collapse event. My prediction is that the cause will be unsettled in the minds of a majority of observers indefinitely. The cause of the collapse poses a potential threat to some of the organizations that are investigating it. A sure refuge for them is to keep the investigation going a long, long time under the excuse of diligence.</p><p>And if there were not already enough controversy surrounding the probable government negligence that caused the collapse, a new heap has been added by the act of MNDOT awarding the rebuild contract to the highest bidder with the longest delivery time. There are many elements to this latest chapter of the bid that are just beginning to emerge. The news coverage of the winning bid has been very uneven and difficult to absorb. More will be learned as soon as all the contestants assume their positions for this battle. </p>
