Pittsburgh Bridge Collapse Before President Joe Biden Arrived

President Joe Biden stopped to look at a Pittsburgh bridge that collapsed just hours before he arrived for a scheduled visit to the city, dramatically underscoring the urgency of his drive to rebuild the United States’ creaky infrastructure. One emergency worker described the scene after the collapse as loud as a jet engine. Biden praised the work of rescuers, noting a natural gas leak that was not stopped until some 30 minutes after first responders arrived at the scene.
