I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Last I heard they were going to try and put the pieces back together to try to pinpoint the cause of the failure.

They have a video of it failing, and a computer simulation of the bridge itself. They're going to try to recreate the failure by having parts fail in the simulation to best match the video.

Didn't the mayor mention something about corrosion on the pillars. I hope it didn't happen because of negligence. Even the Japanese are trying to figure it out. They've had a segment on it every morning on fujisankei news
