Man dies after getting hit by falling parts of Metro Bridge in Rawalpindi

[Zibago]

I have said this before to you, I'm not an IK fan and DO NOT quote me.

In my opinion you don't have a bloody clue as to how things work in Pakistan, you live in a theoretical world, stay there, don't enlighten us with your BS. We are NOT interested.

He doesnot even live here

Just an example of one of the most 'highly qualified' people we have on this forum. And that too an American.

I don't know where he got his degree from, but the place where I studied from, this guy wouldn't have passed an English 101 course!

Mate, unless you are blind (either physically or objectively), that in no way is rust.

The circle on the left has the finishing paint cracking off, while the one on the right shows concrete parts just falling off...

There isn't rust within a million miles of that picture.

I wonder why the CEO of Volkswagen group then left the company after the emissions scandal broke out...stupid guy.

I am going to answer the childish content with just numbers covering some of your IK like comments, accusations or lack of basic sense, but yet, you and your cousins on here, decide to comment on issues as if you guys actually have a complete understanding. That's where the issue is, when people from different fields comment like experts on issues they don't know about. But since they hate NS, so its all good and its "supposed" to be intelligent.

1) The highly qualified and the stupid post from a stupid member you are quoting, in your opinion made the right statement? That guy's got his as* handed by me to him, for so many times, its not even funny. And you expect people like him to give you an honest, real assessment. Nice.

What he's forgotten is, what I've mentioned many times, that I use an IPad and sometimes, speaking to it so it can translate into text. So its VERY natural for stuff to be cut out or misspelled. The dude is from India, and their English is broken like a train track, and he'll comment on someone else's behavior, writing or otherwise. You are a genius .

What do you have to have to be a Think Tank on this forum? Supporting IK, is the ONLY qualification it seems like!!!

2) Which "place" did you study at? I'd LOVE to hear this!!!! One of the schools I went to, is called MIT!!!! Go beat that shiiit!!! And that's ALL I'll tell you!!!! And this is ONLY 1 school I've listed! A blind can see my posts on different topic and knows that the knowledge I bring to the table, doesn't belong to a common individual. But its fine, stupids will ALWAYS remain stupid.

3) As ALWAYS you are short sighted!!! Like everything else IK and you believe in. The PICTURE you refer to, ONLY shows the external damage and the outside view. INTERNAL to the concrete structure, lies a net of heavy metallic woven structure, many chemical components, tar and other things, and heavy iron bars. From the picture outside, it just shows you the issue the way it looks externally.

To know the entire depth of the real problem, you have to have an engineering survey done. There can be 10 things wrong here. Again, this wasn't hand built by a country's PM that he should be "executed" per some of you. Engineers and companies built this and if the quality is an issue, it should be investigated, people who actually built this with lower grade material are the one's responsible. If their bosses bought it and forced them, they should've come out on the media. But if they didn't,its them and their bosses who need to be fired and put into the jail if that's what the court decides.

4) On WV comment: You honestly don't see a difference in this situation here and WV??? WV damage can result in billions of loss.....here, one individual died and his family should be compensated well and an investigation conducted ASAP. If the investigation concludes the contracting company is using lower grade material all around. Then ABSOLUTELY, the CEO should go to jail and the license this company has, should be cancelled. But you people want to execute the PM or the CM on it, without any investigation. THAT's where the stupidity comes in and makes no sense.

You have to decide what are you complaining about? If your goal is to take out the political opponents, then this is the wrong thread for it. As this thread requires specific investigations by a team of engineers, highly qualified in their field. Till that happens, everyone needs to STFU and pray for the victim's family and his soul. End of the story. After the investigation, the law will find its course. All other noises here due to political differences, can literally go to hell as they don't provide any benefit to the victim's family. You people are running your propaganda mill on an unfortunate death. And that's very below human. There are times when I wonder if people who write this crap are actually humans or aliens from Mars!!!

I know, mars can be a very horrid place.

If I do that objectively based on all the half baked ridiculousness that is your post history, you will take a personal offense to it. So i'd rather just let you tell us about it. You shouldn't shy away dude, after all as you said you are the "most qualified here", so why do you want me to profile you, just post your qualifications.
If they are any good, it would be a good resource for other members to defer to you for expert opinions.

I dropped out of 3rd grade and since then, I worked for a local Walmart and a mechanic shop, fixing tires. But I do have PHD's working for me. Ain't that amazing??? . Based on your posts, we can probably predict your natural age and your disease profile and genetics

So you didn't tell me, is Mil Spec (your screen name, for the security company where you work, or is it referring to the term Military Specifications)? For the later one, let me know if there is any advance tech RFP out there. I might send a few sharp people to submit a response to it

That does explain the grammar.

Nothing wrong with the bridge, it was actually the extra concrete usually left after the construction , and it fell on the person below.

Hats off to metro haters for making it an issue of poor quality.

What a complete ************ you are.....

The people are not complaining that the metro bridge is falling apart, it's that a person LOST HIS LIFE due to metro bus management's carelessness.....

Didn't you work on wall street ?

I know, mars can be a very horrid place.

I am in block II, section 25, are 129 of Mars city Galaxia. The house is stealth so you can't see it when you park your spaceship right in front of it. If your radar is on, the RCS is less than a centimeter so that could be an ant I guess. And its is horrid

What a complete ************ you are.....

No, I work for a Car mechanic, I pump air into the tires and live a successful, happy life

 

[Saifkhan12]

So has anyone been arrested yet?.

 

[Viper0011.]

That does explain the grammar.

And you conveniently ignored the post about going to MIT!!!! I don't know if you drink a lot or remain high. I've written it many times that I use IPad to type, many times on the go as I am used to writing two liner e-mails. When you tell the Indian guy, Mr. Sri in IPad to speech write a post, it does small mistakes as I am speaking while I am doing other stuff. And IPad is touch sensitive for bigger fingers so words can come out spelled incorrectly. So the "grammar" you keep referring to, you need to find a different line from the Vedic times to insult me. How many vowels are in your name? Do you jump start about ten times in each sentence when you speak English because that's how the Indian accent works??
I can get pretty darn mean and personal. The above post is just a warning sign to stop the personals. The schools I went to, you can't dream of paying a Semester out of your pocket living in India. So lay this off or I will get a LOT more personal with you. Look at this, someone coming in on an H1B, probably on fake documents or degree from India, getting educated in US through OUR grant system in universities and now taking a jobs over that belongs to a real American talking about grammar . Like I said, you get more insulting, I'll time it by 10 in my response. So act normal or be ready to face more personal stuff from me in retaliation.

@Irfan Baloch : may want to tell your friend to stop trying to insult the other party on a silly argument because then he'll get personal and he will click on the negative ratings button. As you can see, I am just responding and retaliating to his posts, after ignoring a coupe of his previous posts on the SAME lines. This needs to stop. If you guys can't enforce it, then don't ban people either.

The best that could ever happen in Pakistan is hanging of all these politicians. Hanif Abbasi appointed as chairman of Metro project just because he lost the election, should be enough to tell us how much we as a nation and our rulers the corrupt goons value the merit.

So what are we waiting for perhaps God forbid this bridge comes down with a couple of buses passing it?

This happened today in Pune.

This sharp piece fell on the bonnet of a car passing below the under-construction flyover in Swargate.

Something falling off the under construction bridge is understandable, though a negligence of safe practices but still can be expected, but any damage to newly constructed mega structures cannot be ignored. Nations take pride in what they build, make documentaries of these structures, show it to the world. But here well .................. its a steel business, a way of getting kickbacks, supporting family businesses, awarding contracts to your favorite people.

Its not acceptable bro.

Think if this thing had hit a passing biker below. Its falling from a height of over 50 feet. And the biker is travelling at around 60 kmph ..... no helmet .....

They are supposed to have safety nets under these flyovers.

Try a 26 ton piece:

"The Big Dig ceiling collapse occurred on July 10, 2006, when a concrete ceiling panel and debris weighing 26 short tons (24,000 kg) and measuring 20 by 40 feet (6.1 by 12.2 m) fell in Boston's Fort Point Channel Tunnel (which connects to the Ted Williams Tunnel). The panel fell on a car traveling on the two-lane ramp connecting northbound I-93 to eastbound I-90 in South Boston, killing a passenger and injuring the driver. Investigation and repair of the collapse caused a section of the Big Dig project to be closed for almost a full year, causing chronic traffic backups."

No safety net is going to save that for sure.
