ALL-FEMALE engineer team designed the Miami bridge that collapsed last week

[ShootSpeeders]

It could have been a lot of things that led to the broken tension bolt. Human error, defective bolt, bad design, improperly cured concrete around the tension bolt anchor...we'll have to wait for the investigation to know for sure.

Any investigation will be a whitewash. They can't let the public find out this was yet another affirmative action failure that killed innocent people.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

However if they got the job because they were an all female engineers, then it shows incompetence on epic levels in government/public school.

.

Nothing EPIC about this in a country drowning in affirmative action hiring. It's SOP in america to hire brainless bimbos and blacks for everything.

Yet another affirmative action fail. These brainless bimbos couldn't design a hockey puck but they got a "minority" contract even though they're not even a minority!!

Diversity Fail? All-Women Engineering Team Blamed for Collapse of Miami Pedestrian Bridge

march 18 2018 The all-women engineering team that designed the ill-fated pedestrian foot bridge at Miami’s Florida International University were highly touted for their advances in a field that is typically dominated by men.

But critics are pointing the finger of blame at the female engineers for design flaws that may have brought the bridge down.

Munilla Construction Management (MCM), the South Miami-based firm that designed the FIU foot bridge, has been sued multiple times for unsafe practices in the past.

MCM was awarded the $14.2 million minority contract to design and build the cable-stayed bridge. The company is well-connected in Miami politics and it promotes inclusion and diversity in the workforce.

The lead engineer on the foot bridge project is a female, Leonor Flores, who is a graduate of FIU. Flores led a team of all-women engineers and designers who oversaw the crews that built the prefabricated “instant bridge” by the side of the road using FIU’s own accelerated construction techniques.

Studies all over the world have shown that boys and men are twice as good at math as girls and women. The gender disparity in mathematics scores explains why there are far fewer women engineers than men in the world.

And SANDRAROSE is what??

I know female architects and engineers, OP is wrong. The top Engineer in the country is a female.

Then can we end the sexist preferences for women in STEM fields? Nope? You don't believe your own bullshit, libtard.

Nope - liberals tell us affirmative action must continue forever because of the GIANT MALE CONSPIRACY holding down women.

Libtards can't show us this oppression by white males, but somehow they know it's there. Taxpayers assure all black kids have warm homes, full stomachs, and expensive educations, yet somehow blacks are oppressed. Liberals claim (even liberal) companies pay women earn less than men for the same work, but how often to they prove that in court, even with libtard judges on their side?

Until the imaginary oppression is gone, libtards demand preferences for women and blacks. It can't ever happen.

Right. The general public will never know this faulty bridge was designed by a female team.

Nonsense. It's a scientific fact that women have brains half the size of a man's. They also don't have penises, which is also weird.

I think his point is that less qualified females were given the jobs over better qualified people because of their sex.

It is a scientific fact that women have smaller brains than men.

Over the past few weeks I've seen several articles praising a professional Starcraft player named Scarlett for being the first female to win a major tournament. What these articles don't say is that Scarlett is really a man with a penis, a man who identifies as a woman. He has a man's brain, and without a man's brain, he wouldn't be a grandmaster in Starcraft.

It's beyond reasonable dispute that women are not as good at men in engineering fields, nor in games like Starcraft.

From what I've read, everything including the support cables were installed. They were stress testing and then "tightening" the support cables when it collapsed. That is why it is unconscionable to me that traffic was not blocked during the testing and adjustment process.

Yea, if you are testing something it is because there is a possibility it can fail.

Yet another affirmative action fail. These brainless bimbos couldn't design a hockey puck but they got a "minority" contract even though they're not even a minority!!

The reason it fell is that they sent in the second team that day!

What a POS article-

But critics say

The article cites 'critics' several times- but the 'critics' are not mentioned- and appear to be soley the authors opinion

We're trying to do better every day: from the girls at MCM.

Let's just find out what happened. The 'blame game' will be taken care of by the victim's survivors and lawyers. In the meantime my prayers go to those who lose their loved ones in this tragic accident.

May would be a good idea to make sure no one can get killed while you're doing that.

These fat, incompetent, Cuban ladies were given special preference because they have vaginas and speak Spanish. It's ridiculous and the result is now dead bodies and a massive failure.

The 8A program - . About the 8(a) Business Development Program | The U.S. Small Business Administration | SBA.gov - is a joke.

Why are we rewarding incompetence? "We the People" should award contracts based on merit, PERIOD.

Just curious. Did they use a computer program for the engineering project?
