Miami Bridge Failure - Part 2 Brady Heywood Podcast

    • Science

Today's episode is the second of a three-part series on the 2018 collapse of the International University Pedestrian Bridge in Miami, Florida.

In our last episode, you heard how a pedestrian bridge under construction at the Florida International University collapsed in 2018 and killed six people. While many things came together to cause the collapse of this structure, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) identified some serious errors in the design of the bridge.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into these serious design errors as we attempt to understand why this tragedy occurred.
