Genoa bridge collapse

Post by Scot Dutchy » Wed Aug 15, 2018 2:11 pm

This is turning political:

Genoa bridge collapse: Italy's governing populists wrote off safety fears as a children’s 'fairy story' before disaster
The Five Star Movement has made political capital from opposing major infrastructure projects including improvements to the bridge

In 2013 a statement on the party’s website described warnings of “the imminent collapse of the Morandi Bridge” as a “favoletta”, an Italian word meaning a children’s fantasy tale or fairy story. The bridge collapsed on Tuesday killing at least 37 people and severing country’s A10 motorway
They wont have the legs. Another election shortly? The coalition was never stable.

Well, they are Italians.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

1960's was also a dodgy time. Plenty of Mafia with two many fingers in too many pies.
