When you let environmentalist whackos dictate forest policy instead of professionals this is what you get. No big deal, the old makes way for the new.

Some of those fires are arson. A transient was recently arrested for starting three of them.

Here, an Antifa activist is arrested for starting a brush fire in Washington State.

Idiot remained at the scene to live stream the fire.

So when Trump actually takes credit for playing down the seriousness of the virus, you blame her? Oooookay.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Shrug. Lived out there for 7 years,
happened every year I was there.
And they act like, holy crap, we
didn't see this coming. Whatever.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

My money's on a construction/ inspection error.
I'll take materials or design flaw for ten

The topic was the FL pedestrian bridge collapse. You were right Petro.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determines that the probable cause of the Florida International University (FIU) pedestrian bridge collapse was the load and capacity calculation errors made by FIGG Bridge Engineers, Inc., (FIGG) in its design of the main span truss member 11/12 nodal region and connection to the bridge deck.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

"The
investigation clearly highlighted basic design flaws and a complete lack of oversight by every
single party that had responsibility to either identify the design errors or stop work and call for a
safety stand-down, once it was clear that there was a massive internal failure."



"The bridge was not properly designed, and there was no qualified oversight on that design. When
the inevitable began to happen – a creeping, catastrophic material failure, nobody did anything,
despite what NTSB Chairman Sumwalt accurately described as the “bridge screaming at everyone
that it was failing.” Why?
Once the cracking became evident, not one of the organizations involved was willing to take the
essential and unpopular step to call a halt and close the road. "

That was an interesting read, thanks.

The mosquito population is exploding in southwest Louisiana in aftermath of Hurricane Laura.

Livestock owners have reported numerous cattle, horse, and deer deaths from mosquito attacks.

The swarms of mosquitoes have sucked the blood out of the animals until "they can't get enough oxygen" and ultimately succumb to death, the LSU AgCenter said.

I swear, the world is getting sicker and sicker by the day. No wonder why all the kids under 30 are brainwashed.

The reason the Burger King mascot just kissed Ronald McDonald

BK has an ad of Burger King kissing Ronald McDonald.
More gay propaganda......................................and it's absolutely disgusting. 🤮
