They didn't collapse the bridge. A pedestrian bridge rated for 125 people must be able to dampen the dynamic forces of 125 people whose movements will tend to synchronise even without consciously trying to, just because they're all reacting the same way to the movement of the bridge. The more probable cause of the collapse is that there were literally four times as many people on the bridge as there were supposed to.
He posts weird, irrational shit all the time. Generally it’s highly upvoted, but, much like Imp, I’m not quite sure he understands logic, or gives a shit…
Blaming a bunch of, in essence, peasants, for a gigantic municipal and engineering fuck up, kind of fits with that pattern…
If this happened in fucking Africa, I imagine he, and others here, would be even more glib.

They shook it and it collapsed. Looks pretty fucking cut and dry to me.
Doesn't look cut and dry to me. They attempted to induce harmonic oscillation, yes. They barely even got started getting the bridge to oscillate.
That's like trying to carve your initials into a bridge by scratching the paint and finding out it's rusted through and it disintegrates.
