A 50-year-old bridge collapsed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and dropped a municipal bus along with it. Thankfully, no deaths were reported, but ten people were evaluated and treated for minor injuries. In addition, three people were taken to local hospitals for their injuries. The collapse caused a large gas leak due to ruptured lines. Because of this incident, federal investigators vowed to put the bridge under the microscope to see how the collapse happened and what could have possibly caused it. According to Jennifer Homendy, investigators may take back pieces for laboratory analysis. Read more about the incident here.
