3 New bridge collapses in China – video

Sichuan Province is known for its high seismic activity. In particular, in 2008, a strong earthquake killed tens of thousands of people, and many of the victims were attributed to poor construction. The Hongqi Bridge connected the central part of the country with Tibet.

6 I don't think it's the designer, but rather poor quality materials by the contractors.

China is famous for its' rampage corruptions.

Agree that the designers should have better oversight of the project though.

7 Looked to me like the landslide started the collapse. The geotechnical engineers gonna be looking to emigrate, not the structural engineers.
