IM, last night it stood at 7...this morning, it had been revised *downward* to "only" four.

Still scrags your whole day if you were one of the four.

And the problem is apparently, not that the bridge is forty years old, but that and inspection done just last year or the year before found some structural flaws that were deemed to not be safety issues. Of course, we'll have to wait for the word on whether or not *that* inspection got the call right: perhaps those flaws were really more serious than they were made out to be, or perhaps whatever caused the collapse was much more deeply hidden.
