FIU Bridge Collapse: WORST Engineering Blunders Ever

You'll learn the truth behind the collapse of Miami's FIU Bridge in this gripping investigation. Join Jeff Ostroff as we delve into the engineering errors, design flaws, construction errors, and potential floor plan mistakes that led to this bridge collapsing. This edited version had some sensitive scenes removed see the older full version if you wish to view the scenes. With expert analysis and simulations, we'll uncover the exact cause of the collapse. Don't miss out on this eye-opening exploration of engineering failures.
