[edit] Article title
May I suggest moving the page to 2007 Collapse of Can Tho Bridge, since this seems more in line with current event/natural disaster naming conventions? (And also avoids having one prepositional phrase after another.) To all who have worked on the article, by the way, great job :D GracenotesT § 00:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hm, Collapse of the Can Tho Bridge seems like an appropriate title as well, although starting with the date is not a bad idea. GracenotesT § 00:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Make it "2007 Collapse of Can Tho Bridge" Mapletip 02:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- As someone who has worked on a few disaster articles, I feel that the current title (Collapse of the Can Tho Bridge) is probably fine; in this case we do not need the year as we have a very specific event alread merely with the name of the bridge, which is, after all, unique.

[edit] can someone update the cause?
it states on the article page: Early hypotheses suggest that quick removal of scaffold (2 days) may have been the cause of the accident.[4]
what the hell does (2 days) mean? it's not clear at all, and for someone reading it, they might not understand - like what i've just done. i really do wish that when people update this site, they re-read what they've written to make sure it actually makes sense - 2 days means absolutely nothing in this sentence.
unfortunately don't speak the language to update it myself, from the reference (can't figure which reference it is, as ref 4 doesn't have a link) 194.221.133.226 10:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- I would presume that it means the scaffolding was removed in 2 days which is considered too quick Nil Einne 14:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
