The Minneapolis bridge was built 40 years ago. Given its age and location, the steel used was almost certainly of US origin. The problem there seems to have been the design as much as anything, although it may take many months to complete the forensic analysis. Similarly, there is probably very little Chinese steel in the 6,000 deficient bridges; most of them are "of a certain age." As of today, I haven't seen any explanation for the collapse of the bridge in Hunan Province. It may well have been caused by deficient steel components, but we don't know that. There are [i]plenty [/i]of well documented cases of unsafe imports from China. No need to engage in fear mongering based on highly dubious examples. - China Watcher Thu, 16 Aug 2007 11:58:32 +0100
