The collapse of the bridge was a real tragedy -- we lost a friend in the accident. But for some half-wit grubbing news reporter to imply the collapse was due to pigeon droppings betrays crass ignorance of the worst kind. It was poor engineering and poor maintenance that led to the collapse of the bridge. People failing to do their jobs properly and politians and bureaucratic bean-counters refusing to spend what was necessary to ensure public safety cost the life of our friend and the lives of the others who died. People are at fault -- not pigeons.
