The local taxpayers. I hate to point fingers, but it is true. In 2005 federal engineers determined the bridge to be "structurally deficient". This was not a secret for only the government to know. They reported this to everyone. The taxpayers decided that they would "get around to it". Well, because of their procrastination, they not only have to fix the bridge, they have to bury many people. *** I'm sorry Minnesota, but you could have prevented this tragedy long ago. *** Also, the same thing is happening at many sites all around this country and not enough people seem to care until after the fact.

Will finding someone or something to blame make you feel better? It certainly won't restore those lost to their loved ones. Right now, those responsible for investigating the disaster are projecting that it will take as much as a year to determine the cause, if it can be determined. There are myriads of possibilities, ranging from metal fatigue to transposed numbers in 40+ year old calculations to sabotage.
