Now this I didn't know

Horrible bridges in Georgia.

One in Smyrna rated a 3.3 out of 100! And everyone is whining about the 50 out of 100 the Minneapolis bridge got.

and "At least 18 bridges in metro Atlanta fell into such poor shape that they scored under 10, according to 2006 data"

Yesterday, I'm not sure if I can find it again but I might try, I read a report that Georgia is one of the few states NOT ordering bridge evaluation in light of the tragedy.

Bloody hell. I mean I'm not all for running around like idiots after a big emergency, but geeze a 3.3 out of 100.
