UNIVERSITY PARK, Fla. – Munilla Construction Management was one of the companies behind the deadly Florida International University’s pedestrian bridge collapse. It has since rebranded Magnum Construction Management.
Daniel Munilla, the president of the family-owned company, said he wrestles with what could have been done differently to prevent the March 15, 2018 tragedy.
“We have had many restless nights,” Munilla said. “We wish we would have done more.”
Munilla said they were aware of a crack in the structure that January.
“We saw the concern. Every day they documented it. We were assured by a world-renowned designer that it wasn’t a safety concern,” Munilla said.
