Collapsed bridge had no steel - but in harmony with the natural environment


BEIJING CHINA - A near-complete bridge in China, which collapsed killing at least 41 workers, apparently was built using only stone and concrete without steel support. Xinhua news agency quoted a local official in the tourist region of Fenghuang County in central Hunan Province that the 1,049-foot bridge, being constructed over the Tuo River, had used the “traditional and risky" design of stone and concrete instead of steel. He said the design was chosen to ensure "it remained in harmony with the natural environment." Full Story - Frederick's of Hollywood - Sexy clothes for women
