Song is about the worst (road) bridge disaster in Australian history, from the perspective of one of the survivors (Eddie Halsall). Worth noting the fact that we have had quite a few disasters like this, including the Tasman Bridge collapse, which was fairly similar to what just happened...
That one, and Westgate, were both the result of sheer incompetence, though, and arguably class warfare in the case of the latter (engineers thinking they knew better than the workers on the ground), but in honour of the construction workers (and whoever else may have been present) who almost certainly died today, yeah, I present this song.
