- A bridge at Florida International University's campus collapsed on Thursday, resulting in multiple injuries and casualties to those who were trapped beneath it.
- The 950-ton bridge, which was set to be completed in 2019, was designed to make it safer for students to travel between FIU's campus and Streetwater, a city where around 4,000 students live.
- The bridge was installed in a single day on Saturday through a method that was supposed to increase safety for workers, pedestrians, and drivers.
