But catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is poor computer simulations fed with dubious assumptions, statistics manipulations, hand-wavery and hysteria. And a great taxpayer-funded income source.
I thought they were able to identify a "rare" battery that he used in the device that malfunctioned and then were able to find out where in Austin batteries of that type were shipped.

"the designers realized that there would be tension forces on truss member #11 during the move"
Any "designer" (which includes the engineers) that would fail to realize that bridge components would have forces imposed on them during transport doesn't deserve to work in engineering or construction. Then again, maybe all the experienced and competent (and expensive) people have been funemployed in favor of cheaper, less-experienced software button-pushers who just think they are competent.
But drafting/3D modelling can be tedious and boring, and I've found there not to be many engineers in the process plant design world who are doing it. Except in India/China of course, where you can get degreed engineers to operate PDMS for $5.75 an hour.
All I think about when I hear Revit is someone shrieking BIM at the top of their lungs for 30 minutes.
Junior AutoCAD drafters are no longer required because the software automates many of the tasks that they used to perform. So, insufficiently-experienced juniors get "promoted" to more senior positions while the old farts get laid-off because why not? They're too expensive anyway.
Well, this is what happens if the work hasn't already been offshored to India or China in the first place.
Ever try mentoring someone who is 12 time zones away and asleep while you are working?
Everything now is hype for headlines and continued funding, partially caused by social media madness. Not enough money left after PR and marketing expenses to do, like, actual stuff. Enjoy the decline.
How much you wanna bet that person didn't know what "This is not a drill" means? I am seriously concerned that software is turning people into morons. You can fake a lot of competence by using software, and why do you need to know all that stuff anyway?
Why would Teh Russians, not known for their vibrant economy, concern for Americans or charitable nature, be giving tens of millions of dollars to *any* "charity" in the United States?
Why would that be? Do Teh Russians routinely donate to charities not named Clinton Foundation?
Best option is to find a unionized government job; I hear they pay even more than equivalent private sector now (due to stalled wages) and benefits and pensions are good.
Overall, though, with automation and off-shoring we're headed for a train wreck.

I'm not so certain about that. They have such a lock on their customers and are YUGE companies able to BillGates any serious up and coming competition.

But they had CAD, 3D models and renderings and no doubt expensive, sophisticated stress analysis software. How could this have possibly happened?
Are you sure it was a bug and not a feature?
Are house prices declining as a result of this?
