Tons of Repaving Material Was on Bridge at Collapse

Tons of Repaving Material Was on Bridge at Collapse - New York Times: "The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, Mark V. Rosenker, said investigators had questioned employees of Progressive Contractors Inc., which was doing work on the bridge deck, regarding quantities of various materials, specific equipment they had put on the bridge, and where the materials and equipment were on the bridge. The weight and location will be entered into a computer program, Mr. Rosenker said, to calculate the stresses generated on each girder and other bridge components."

Progressive Contracting, Inc.??! I'll bet this story gets buried almost overnight if there is any implication that a group of Progressive Contractors contributed to the collapse of this bridge. This is stranger than fiction!
