A bridge that crosses the Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed, plunging a freight train carrying hot asphalt and molten sulfur into the rushing water below. No injuries were reported. Officials shut down drinking water intakes downstream while they evaluated the danger from the accident Saturday morning. Railroad crews were at the scene near the town of Columbus, about 40 miles west of Billings. The river was swollen with recent heavy rains although it is unclear whether that contributed to the bridge collapse. The Yellowstone saw record flooding in 2022 that caused extensive damage to Yellowstone National Park and adjacent towns in Montana.
Yeah, I agree. It’s not hard to build infrastructure that lasts forever, it’s just no one wants to pay for it.
I would gladly pay for it. Unfortunately most of us that would gladly pay for it can’t afford to pay for it. And the people that could afford to pay for it don’t get rich by spending their own money. They want everyone else to spend their money on it so they can use it for free.
