Bridge collapse in Florida

Not sure how many casualties, yet, but a newly erected footbridge has collapsed across a duel carriageway. There will be some structural engineers panicking tonight, and checking their calculations for the 27th time.

The article says it was a cable-suspension bridge, but there were no signs of it being anything other than a truss, so I wonder if it was in a part-built state. Nonetheless, someone will have calculated that it was strong enough to span in the condition it was in.
