Just cause you never heard of it doesn't mean its not happened. Our parents never heard of a road bridge just failing, yet we've seen it how many times recently?
Dude, get real. There are around 6 million bridges in the US and there have been 111 collapses in 150 years. That works out to any one bridge collapsing in a given year at something like 1:4,400,000. I spend about 1% of my day driving over bridges. That means I have about a 1:440,000,000 million chance per year of being on a bridge when it collapses.
Not something work spending time worrying about... Nor do I worry about a scuba tank exploding while I'm diving.
