When a certain bridge fell down quite recently, I mentioned that sort of thing is not in the category of complete surprise, as I think about that sort of thing happening on quite a few bridges.
There's one in particular that, over the last four years, I've spent many an hour sitting motionless between eighteen wheelers and other traffic, studying the road surface, and pondering exactly how I would get out of a situation should one end or the other of the particular slab I was on start to tilt.
That kind of stuff, of course, is considered silly nonsense, because bridges don't just fall down. After all, on a scale of 0 to 100 with 100 being the best, that particular bridge rated a whopping 29.1. The good news is, because it passed with flying colors, they don't have to look at it again for two years.
