FEATURE ARTICLE
The Cost When Things Go
Wrong...
By:
Christopher M. Ernst
 Nowadays,
it seems like people are unwilling to take responsibility
for their own mistakes. For example, recently the Ohio
Department of Transportation oversaw the re-construction of
the West Third Street Lift Bridge, spanning the width of the
Cuyahoga River in Cleveland. It was a $20 million dollar
project that was to culminate with the late winter
installation of a 2.1-million-pound bridge deck that had to
be floated up the river, pushed by two tugboats normally
accustomed to guiding iron ore carriers to the steel mills
upriver.
