    What Went Wong - Complete Season: • What Went Wong | All E...
    On Aug. 14, 2018, the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, Italy, collapsed, sending vehicles and tons of rubble to the ground 50 meters below, killing 43 people. What went wrong with the Morandi Bridge and how did the design and maintenance of one of Genoa’s most iconic structures lead to its demise? Top bridge engineers give insight, survivors tell of their miraculous rescue by firefighters who faced a race against time to pull out the living from under the rubble.

    Ponte Morandi (English: Morandi Bridge), officially Viadotto Polcevera (English: Polcevera Viaduct), was a road viaduct in Genoa, Liguria, Italy, constructed between 1963 and 1967 along the A10 motorway over the Polcevera River, from which it derived its official name. It connected Genoa's Sampierdarena and Cornigliano districts across the Polcevera Valley. The bridge was widely called "Ponte Morandi" after its structural designer, engineer Riccardo Morandi.
    On 14 August 2018, a 210-metre (690 ft) section of the viaduct collapsed during a rainstorm, killing forty-three people. The collapse led to a year-long state of emergency in the Liguria region, extensive analysis of the structural failure, and widely varying assignment of responsibility.
    The remains of the original bridge were demolished in August 2019. The replacement bridge, the Genoa-Saint George Bridge was inaugurated a year later. Our documentary looks at the possible causes which caused the structural failure. (i drove over that bridge quite a few times actually on my way to the French Riviera)

    Given the involvement of Italy's notorious mafias in most of the country's infrastructure projects, one cannot dismiss the possibility that corners were cut during the bridge's construction. Coupled with the endemic corruption in local and national government and the repercussions with regard to inspections and maintenance and you have all the ingredients for such a disaster.

    20:00 Even a cable stayed bridge can degrade to such a state that it would be considered to not have any redundancy. The Québec bridge isn't quite there yet, but near enough that engineers are sounding the alarm. A very large portion of the cables urgently need to be replaced.

    People just going about their day and had no idea that their lives would be over. Today is the day of salvation tomorrow is promised to no man. Matthew 24:35-39
    [35]Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. No One Knows the Day or Hour
    [36]“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
    [37]But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
    [38]For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
    [39]""and did not know until the flood came and took them all away"" so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
    Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Only Jesus saves. Your church, your denomination, your pastor and being a good person cannot save you. There's only one way to heaven, there's one way, one truth and one life JESUS
