[TheForge] OLD bridge collapse north of Baltimore

[Bruce]

Better bring an A/C sawsall and a generator.  I think I'll leave the task
to younger folks -- who have the equipment to haul it all away.  I just
hope any wrought iron gets distributed to those who appreciate it.  Still,
one of us (not me) could put in a bid for the removal and "disposal" of the
wrecked bridge and we could hire contractors to do the actual work.

WHY would there have been a cable to the tree?  If that be true, then maybe
the truck really was overweight for the bridge and the driver will need new
underwear and a new job.
