[edit] Improvements
Have to add a section "Immediately before" and describe the events that lead up to the collapse
Have to add a "Learnings" section just before the see also section.
This section will contain:
- information about infrastructure investment
- life cycle policies
Also have to add a section on "Similar Events" and include
- incident in 2000 when a man died
- other overpass that was pulled down as it is the same design as the concorde overpass and is therefore suspect
A section on "Suspected Cause/s"
[edit] Sources
Fire e23 02:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC) I apologise that this article is written using News articles as reference sources, but no other sources are available at the moment; the official technical report isn't due out until March and even then probably won't contain any data on behavioural responses.
Fire e23 23:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Need to fix up referencing to realign with references from same authors.
The collapse was not in montreal, that needs to be clarified
[edit] August 2007
From the article:
| “ | In August 2007, incidentally just weeks before the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse, the Quebec department of transports issued a list of 135 overpasses that were under close scrutiny, and closed to all overweight trucks (in excess of 20 tonnes) traffic. | ” |
How could a list be issued in August 2007, "weeks before" the bridge collapse, when the bridge collapsed on August 1? Should that read "In July 2007"? -- timc talk 01:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment
I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, although it needs in-line citations to facilitate verification. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific event within Canada. Cheers, CP 16:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
