awarded a diversity contract to do the work

Flores led a team of all-women engineers and designers who oversaw the crews that built the prefabricated “instant bridge” by the side of the road using FIU’s own accelerated construction techniques.

MCM hailed Flores and her all-women design team in celebratory social media posts on Twitter.com in the hours before the deadly collapse.

But critics say simple mathematics would have prevented the disaster in Miami.

I’ve seen 100 hotter female engineers walking around CEBA any day of the week.

Interesting if true but can you link a source that doesn't look like a knockoff Perez Hilton?

Not a chance. They will get sued out of business though.

Why did the women build the bridge?



























Because she had to get across the river to buy bread for making sandwiches.

The FIU foot bridge was designed to be supported from above by a system of thick steel cables (see illustration) and a reinforced concrete center support column. But the cables and the center column had not been installed before the 950 ton, 174-foot bridge was moved into place over 8th street on Saturday.

Wow. Those women all deserve to go to jail for homicide
