Let's not jump to conclusions.

The only facts we know are that the bridge collapsed and a bunch of people died. Let's not turn the conversation to "blame the engineer".

Accountability and ethics are the yardstick everyone is measured by.

Blame, no. But going into the cause is more than warranted.

Seemed like an Italian academic called it an "failure of engineering" two years ago, and another construction of the same engineer was reported to have collapsed in earlier years.
