Diversity Bridge Fell Down

I'm sure you all saw the pedestrian bridge that pancaked in Florida killing 6 people: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/16/co ... suits.html

What the MSM failed to mention was that this was a celebrated "Diversity Bridge" prior to it's failure: http://takimag.com/article/diversity_br ... z5B9gpD4JV

It was designed by Atorod Azizinamini, who was honored as a "champion of change" by Obama: https://news.fiu.edu/2015/10/white-hous ... ange/93007

It was built by MCM, which stands for Munilla Construction Management, owned by the Munilla brothers, Raul, Juan, Jorge, Lou, Fernando, and Pedro.

It's construction was managed by Leonore Flores, a manager at MCM, who was quoted in this puff piece from FIU:
Leonor Flores ’98 is a project executive and one of 63 FIU alumni who work for MCM, the construction firm building the FIU-Sweetwater University City Bridge. She was excited to share her work with her family, especially Michelle, who is interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in school. Said Leonor: “It’s very important for me as a woman and an engineer to be able to promote that to my daughter, because I think women have a different perspective. We’re able to put in an artistic touch and we’re able to build, too.”
Yeah, I'm sure she is artistic, but she might have had some problems with "maff".

Funny how the celebration of diversity in STEM disappeared from the narrative once the bridge failed. Smith must have had to work feverishly to change the facts to fit "Big Brother's" program.

Any idea where exactly? I may have to re-route my next trip back to visit the family.

FWIW, here's the inscription from that Roman bridge, and the English translation:

Pontem perpetui mansurum
in saecula mundi
fecit divina nobilis arte Lacer


Permanent bridge will remain
forever in the world
Lacer (designer) made by the famous art

AvE did a video on the collapse, and some really clever detective work on why it happened.
