Taking down the Jal el Dib Bridge

Now that a building has collapsed in Lebanon, Lebanese are all of a sudden worried everything’s gonna fall on their heads, including the Jal el Dib bridge. However, that didn’t stop them from using the bridge yesterday as I went there around 8 pm and traffic was normal.

Meanwhile, someone’s apparently getting impatient and is trying to take down the bridge himself.

    I would rather be over the bridge when it collapses instead of under it so if it was me I would continue to take the bridge.

    That didn’t stop people from using the archaic bridge for the past 30+ years… what changed suddenly?
