Remember that "structurally deficient" does not mean "considered dangerous", it just means it no longer has enough excess load bearing capacity.
I'll be very interested in the NTSB report, and I'm curious whether this being a post war bridge might have any bearing on what happened. We just don't over engineer the way we did prewar.
