WASHINGTON - Federal investigators looking into the deadly bridge collapse at Florida International University confirm that a flawed design is to blame for the disaster that killed six people.
Additionally, the National Transportation Safety Board determined, during a public meeting held Tuesday, that the failure of all concerned parties to recognize and take action on the threat to public safety led to the deadly pedestrian bridge collapse at FIU on March 15, 2018.
There were "failures at all levels" of the collapse that killed six people and injured ten, the NTSB stated.
FIU president Mark Rosenberg was at the meeting as the NTSB revealed the university was part of that oversight failure.
"All parties had the authority to close the bridge and did not act on that authority," stated Robert L. Sumwalt, chairman of the NTSB.
