 A bridge at Florida International University's campus collapsed Thursday, trapping people in the rubble and resulting in multiple injuries and deaths. The 950-ton bridge, which was supposed to be ready for use in 2019, was designed to make it safer for students to travel between FIU's campus and Streetwater, a city where about 4,000 students live. The bridge was installed in a single day on Saturday using a method that was supposed to increase safety for workers, pedestrians, and drivers.
