The collapse of the FIU Pedestrian Bridge was a tragedy that will impact all of us in the construction, design and engineering community.  We are going to present a case study of the FIU bridge collapse focusing on the final days of the construction as well as the NTSB/OSHA investigation and legal fallout.  It will be a very sobering look at the disaster as well as the human psychology behind some of the poor choices that were made, as well as the impact of those choices.
