stanley us may even be able to pinpoint the exact piece of bridge that gave way.Investigators trying to determine the cause of the disaster are armed with a powerful technological arsenal that will enable them to get answers much quicker than in previous eras, when crews had to literally put the pieces of fallen bridge back together. Computers and modeling techniques are just light years from what was available 40 years ago, said Ted Galambos, a professor emeritus of structural engineering at the University of Minnesota and an expert in the stability of structural steel. Now we can have an idea and we can test that on a computer in a few hours. Investigators caution, however, that it could take up to 18 months to complete their exhaustive probe into why Minnesota s busiest bridge collapsed and fell into the Mississippi River on Wednesday, killing at least five people and injuring dozens. Eight people remained missing Sunday, and divers are spending long days in the debris-filled water searching for bodies. But investigators already have begun zeroing in on clues.On Friday, they wer

It is estimated that damages in Germany, alone, will amount to more than $6-billion euros when all is said and done. When Dresden flooded 11 years ago, they called it the flood of the century, saying the last time it had happened was 150 years before, said Dresden resident Christa Pohl last week in an interview with The Guardian. The fact it has happened again, and so soon, fills me with a sense of foreboding. According to climate scientist Mojib Latif from the He
