To be fair, the fact that the bridge collapsed, while it is news, it's no news for HN.
The technological aspect of google maps being able to so quickly update it is in fact, new for HN.
Another thing that I agree would be interesting is a detailed technical explanation of why the bridge collapse, that I'd assume would be HN material as well.
- scott_s 13y agoI don't think that something has to be strictly "technical" to be on HN. I would like to see the the story on how the bridge came to be in the state it is in on HN - not just the technical explanation for what happened, but why did we choose to allocate our resources in such a way that the failure occurred.

- trhtrsh 13y agoComments on reddit mentioned that the bridge was condemned in 1992, and repeatedly since then, but no one bothered to fix it. I thought we had a big goverment stimulus package for shovel-ready projects over the past few years...
