Imagine you've been driving across the same bridge every day for 3 years, only to discover it had an inevitably catastrophic structural flaw, only revealed when someone bothered to look, but the engineers, contractors, and government didn't want to talk about it.

How'd you feel then?

That actually happens.

Also bridges are built with a much bigger lifetime in mind and require (proving GP's point) a much bigger investment.

I now think I replied to the wrong post. This thread is more confusing than most. We're all talking past each other. We (this group) likely agrees more than we disagree.
