Surveillance video captures moment #FIUBridgeCollapse FIU pedestrian bridge collapses during tightening of suspension cables killing at least 4. Why did they not stop traffic during a stress test?
An innovative construction method that was supposed to reduce risks for workers and pedestrians, while minimizing traffic disruptions across from Florida International University's main campus in Miami-Dade, ended in tragedy Thursday.
As search-and-rescue teams looked through the rubble early Friday morning, federal, state and local authorities started their investigation on how a pedestrian bridge connecting FIU with Sweetwater collapsed across Eighth Street.

FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg said all of the contractors were fully certified by the state and the builder, Munilla Construction Management, was recommended by the Florida Department of Transportation. He also said they were testing the bridge, which was set to open next year.
"I know the tests occurred today and, I know, I believe that they did not prove to lead anyone to the conclusion that we would have this kind of a result," Rosenberg said. https://www.local10.com/news/florida/miami-dade/fiu-pedestrian-bridge-collapses-during-testing-killing-at-least-4
