FIU Bridge Collapse: Death By Engineering

Several large cracks were found on the Florida International University bridge even before it was erected, from Daily Mail [1](UK):

One of the engineers, Linwood Howell, said the cracks were a sign of the structure’s ‘imminent failure’.

‘There’s nothing they could have done short of starting over and redesigning the structure,’ said Howell, whose firm conducts bridge inspections for the state of Texas.

Is this the price of diversity?  We must have public infrastructural designed by underrepresented minorities, even if they are incompetent.
