government. i m suggesting government doing the job to ensure before they let cars go underneath a new bridge that s been in place. we can ensure that it s safe. clearly, in this situation, it s not. we can t continue to introduce either old bridges where we ve got up in the northeast, for example, hundreds of thousands of people crossing bridges that the government knows is not safe and we do it every day. here we ve built a new bridge and not worked to ensure it s okay to let those cars pass underneath it. that s a cornerstone of government to make sure it is safe. it is amazing this is the point the bridge was put up. it was put up in a day. it was brought in pieces. if you take it back to also that deadly train accident as well on the very first run. there is something very fundamental going wrong in these cases. i wish we had more time. thank you. you bet. republicans push for a recount in that pennsylvania
