Sagging Green Bay, Wisconsin, bridge closed
2
A 400-foot section of the Leo Frigo Bridge --
named after a late Wisconsin cheese scion --
suddenly sagged Wednesday, forcing police to
close off the span that carries Interstate 43
over the Fox River some 120 feet below. It
appears that one of the piers holding up the
bridge sank about 2 feet into the ground, Gov.
Scott Walker told reporters Wednesday. The
bridge, which carries 40,000 cars a day, will be
closed indefinitely, state officials said. "We
understand the disruption this is going to cause
to traffic," Wisconsin Transportation Secretary
reported Wednesday. The bridge was built in 1980
and last inspected in August 2012 and declared
sound.

  • Cruising at 30,000 feet, pilots snoozed in the
    cockpit of a 300-passenger airliner en route to
    Britain last August. The Airbus A330 incident
    occurred while the aircraft was operating on
    autopilot on a long-distance flight. The August
    13 incident appears to be the result of bad
    scheduling by the airline, said the spokesman,
    Richard Taylor. The pilots reported having only
    five hours of sleep over two nights "due to
    longer duty period with insufficient opportunity
    to sleep," the CAA report states. "Both crew
    rested for 20 minute rotations and fell asleep."

    before reading this, Bill Gates says he's sorry.
    The Microsoft founder says the triple-key login
    should have been made easier, à la Apple's Macs,
    but that a designer insisted on the more
    complicated step. "We could have had a single
    button. But the guy who did the IBM keyboard
    design didn't want to give us our single button,"
    Gates said.
