GEE, THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT REAL WELL

by Bob Walsh
 
 The hanging bridge made of wooden boards and metal chains had recently been remodelled.

Tuesday the mayor of Cuernavaca, Mexico inaugurated a foot bridge over a rather pretty stream.  The bridge collapsed dumping several people, including members of the city council, about ten feet into the stream bed.  

A total of eight people, including the mayor, required hospital attention.  It appears that the wooden foot boards separated from the chains suspending the bridge, possible due to too many people on the bridge doing stupid like, like attempting to get the bridge to sway from side to side.

You can deal with ignorance.  Stupid is forever.
