Press release is just finished. Something went wrong an underlying fault in the bridge was missed, there is a history of scour problems. We are very lucky to escape this time. IE built, own and maintain the bridge so unless it was blown up or an earthquake (both highly unlikely) its IE's fault
For the last few years off the record its always been 'there's a big one coming', sadly there will be an fatality accident. This was not the closest to a fatality incident in the last month, a member of staff came within seconds of death on board a passenger service.
