Check Bridges and Design Charts!!
A school bus carrying 60 Minnesota children stopped unbelievably luckily along a side wall of a suddenly collapsed large bridge over the Mississippi in front of a semi-track which was violently stopped by a heaved and detached surface section of the bridge and started to flame up.

Several years ago, a large bridge collapsed in South Korea. An old Korean said that recent construction looked well outwardly but lacked true workmanship which had been always assured during the Era of Occupation by the Empire of Japan, though everybody spoke ill of the Empire of Japan in these days.
However, what the US bridge collapse accident reminded me of is of course the huge collapse of the World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2001.

There seem to be still many arguments why the WTC towers, designed by a Japanese American, collapsed so drastically almost an hour after the crash by hijacked jet planes.
(http://journalof911studies.com/articles/Why%20Indeed%20Did%20the%20WTC%20Buildings%20Completely%20Collapse%20Jones%20Thermite%20World%20Trade%20Center%20J24.pdf)
There is a possible or hypothetic scenario about the proceeding of the collapse I have figured:
1. The structure of WTC looks too simple, when observing it in a wider view, without complex protective and reinforcement method applied.
2. There is a large vertical elevator space in the central area of each floor from the top to the bottom of the WTC tower.
3. When the tower initially started to collapse (probably due to melting joint metal on a crashed floor), the initially falling floors from the top as a single mass hit a certain and decisive floor and its structure, which had most critically supported all the upper structure, the crash of the mass on the very floor should generate a kind of a longitudinal wave with a specific frequency probably close to a characteristic vibration frequency of the whole building.
4. Consequently, a kind of resonance to the vertical direction might happen with destructive energy converged to each joint part of the structure connecting each floor vertically.
5. Therefore, the fate of the WTC towers was decided the moment the first falling mass from the roof hit a certain decisive floor, generating a specific frequency longitudinal wave the power of which multiplied by the resonance effect.
If the impulse frequency had not fit the simple-structure-properties of the tower and had not been multiplied further by the vertical-tube-type structure of the tower, the two WTC towers should have stood even to this day.

It was once said in Japan that infrastructures in the U.S. had been poorly maintained due to the federal and state government budget constraints as adverse effect of the Vietnam War.
(Another example is the recent hot-water pipe line explosion in New York.)
But, an old Korean, who probably held some grudge against Japan but remembered the era when the Empire of Japan had occupied and controlled the Korean Peninsula before WWII, praised the conscientious workmanship of Japanese companies and administration in building infrastructures in Korea.
(The occupation by the Empire of Japan was not a Western style of colonization. Today's historians and politicians in the world, including the U.S., should check and study it.)

US TV reporters and casters much worried about safety of passengers, rescue workers, and relatives in their live coverage.
I am now a little worrying about the durability of the Tokyo Tower, the Eiffel Tower, and the Empire State Building.
And that is why I openly state my faith in Jesus Christ and the Lord God Almighty, while no one is found at this level of horizons.
You had better check a bridge and a chart your soul needs to live and die.
Finally, no more tragedies in this summer are my sincere wish.
(We often hear that people running from terrorists were killed in a church where they were hiding, or a church was completely destroyed by a hurricane or a tornado.
Indeed, a religion is not a matter. A church is one type of buildings. It is faith that cannot be killed and destroyed. It is faith where you can hide completely safely.
A religion is directly connected to business and money. But, faith does not fit to business and money.
Construct a bridge, a tower, and a building based on faith but not a religion.
I really like to meet people of faith but not of a religion, say, on any jetty, tower, Shinkansen terminal, river bank, or station, since I feel like a kind of hiding in a lonely post along a great river which may really overflow next time.)
