Synopsis
Bridge disasters expose the hidden risks of unregulated construction and weak inspection. This nonfiction work surveys deadly failures across American bridges and argues for strong public oversight to protect lives.
In a clear, accessible voice, the book recounts famous cases and why they happened, from the Ashtabula collapse to other dramatic failures. It also explains how politics, cost-cutting, and lax controls contribute to unsafe bridges, and why public accountability matters for safety.
- Real-world examples illustrate how defects slip through the cracks until tragedy strikes
- Arguments for a systematic, enforceable inspection regime
- A call for responsible leadership and clear blame when bridges fail
- Plain language discussion of how safety standards could improve public works
Ideal for readers of history, public policy, and engineering, this edition helps you understand the cause–and the remedy–for America’s bridge disasters.
