2 out of 100?
<p>This is from an AP article today on the hurricane....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some of the region's most popular destinations rely on the ailing Bonner Bridge, which was built in 1963 and intended to last 30 years, to connect Hatteras Island to the northern Outer Banks. There's no other way to reach Hatteras except by boat.</p>
<p>The bridge handles about 2 million cars a year and the state DOT ranks it a 2 on its safety meter, with 100 being the highest, or most safe, designation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>How the bleep can this country be using a bridge that with that kind of safety rating? Seems like this country can't plan more than a day and a half ahead of time.</p>
