I hope there is some serious thrashing for once. This is an outcome of the worst form of negligence and corruption, in awarding contracts to wrong suppliers out of contacts, bribery, hiring the wrong ppl for the same reasons, using low quality equipment, getting money for more equipment, pocketing some and using less and less quality material...It happens all the time in Pakistan in not just public but even pvt projects...:(
God bless the deceased and their families...
pretty much nothing will happen in terms of any big shake up or heads rolling since both at NHA & NLC, the strings are traced back to big wigs of armed forces. So expect only some lower level 2nd & 3rd tier suppliers being whipped for some public drama bazi.
Our retarded Media will be trying very hard to do this
Ah speaking of media!! One thing I absloutely agreed with Bud and Tind and disagreed with Mush is the policy on "freedom of speech"... I'd wish Mush followed the same policy.
no wonder the education credentials from Pakistan isn't accepted in the west. Their engineers cant even build basic bridges, let alone building something far more advanced. Didn't another bridge somewhere in port qasim collapsed last week too?
^ The best way to tackle the problem would be to open up to competition, just like our telecom industry. The laws of nature will kick in "survival of the fittest" and corruption will go down.

ya not a bad idea
right now all construction are done by companies which are under the Army
but wasnt the company who constructed the bridge under the army?
Well that might be the case and army is no exception. Recently on a vist to Islamabad via Sialkot with my uncle came across two roads build side by side with a world of difference and build at the same time... I asked my uncle why the difference.. The answer was one is build by the military and the other civilian... You guess which was mili and which civilian.

bad design, bad maintenance and bad material happens everywhere. You are ofcourse aware of the major bridge collapse in the US last month.

engineering degree (from most of Pakistan) is accepted by most universities in US.... try harder

Ofcourse that doesn't condone anything
so you don't think there is any difference between an under repair 30 yrs old bridge collapsing and a new bridge that was inaugurated a month ago collapsing? please think again.
It was not the structural matarial, it was a bad design. A bad bad design. Just by looking at the first picture I saw of the curved, collapsed section, I was surprise that someone decide to design such a tight radius bridge.
And the fact that the whole section fell down, without much damage to the section itself, proves that the material used in the construction was not questionable.
I read that the design engineer was a PHD. That guy should be hanged
