I hope he also sues the company in charge of that bridge and gets a good settlement to cover his own medical expenses.

That doesn't mean it's okay that she faced absolute terror and an horrific death due to someone else's callousness. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat our most vulnerable in society. Children, the disabled, and elderly people are more vulnerable and deserve to be protected just as much as anyone else. I'm guessing you're a young teen then. Hopefully as you age, you'll gain some empathy and wisdom as you see your grandparents, parents and other elderly relatives go through old age and pass away. I lost both my parents last year, at 80 and 85, and I desperately wish I could have had more time with them.

In my 41 years on this planet, I’ve learned one thing over and over again. Any kind of power or control, no matter how minor, and it just warps people. I recently had an issue with a bus driver who refused to pull over and allow vehicles to pass on our country road. I passed her legally and the next day, she left the yellow warning lights on the entire stretch, even though there were no stops on that stretch. I passed her again, and she reported it to the police who actually came to my job. It is not illegal to pass a bus with yellow lights, so nothing came of it. The next day, Friday, she drove at 10 mph with the red lights and stop sign out the entire stretch, causing the other lane’s traffic to stop as she coasted by. Why? Because that little bit of control and power made her feel powerful and important. And I was disrespecting her authority and control by not obediently sitting behind her. That’s why we should ALWAYS minimize or eliminate power as much as possible.

I’ve lived in South Florida, my whole life. Drawbridges everywhere. I remember one year I went down to Deerfield beach to watch fireworks with my girlfriend. Most of the people parked on the other side of the intercoastal, and walked across the bridge to the beach to watch the show. When it was over, everybody was streaming back across the bridge. A continuous line much like our southern border at the moment. But I digress. A boat had been waiting for the bridge, tender to raise the bridge. The bridge tender could not get everybody to stop walking across the bridge, so he decided to start raising it with hundreds of people on it. It was amazing that nobody got seriously hurt or killed. There were lots of children and mothers pushing strollers. Another time, I was in my 23 foot sailboat at night. Another boat had radio the bridge for an opening before me. I was a couple of hundred yards behind this boat, and I was going to follow him as the bridge was open. A very common thing. Right as I started to go under the bridge, he starts to lower it. My mast was probably 40 or 50 feet above the water. There was no way I was going to make it all the way through. The bridge would have calm down on my mast, and that would have punctured a hole in the bottom of my boat, and sank it on the spot. Luckily for me, my boat was only 23 feet long and I had an outboard motor on the very back of the boat. Because of this, I was able to spin my boat on its axis, so I did a quick turnaround, and was able to get out from under the bridge.

Or sometimes we'd be on a narrow bridge that was starting to slant down to a 50-ft drop down to the water, and we would stop and there would be cars behind us blowing the horn for us to go.

I like your idea, but the level of lazy in the bridge operator could still get around this feature. Perhaps every pedestrian could enter a code on a monitor when they enter the bridge and enter it again when the exit the bridge. The bridge would be disabled and unable to open until each pedestrian exit code has been entered. Or perhaps just infrared devices every couple feet which will disable the bridge from openeing and will activate a red light in the bridge tower. If the operator attempts to raise the bridge and one of the infrareds detects a pedestrian or vehicle on the the bridge, the operator immediately is replaced and dismissed, possibly charged for attempted murder.

I was watching with sorrow for Carol, but shock turned to outrage when I saw how close Carol was to the tower. “Tisha” had no idea of the responsibility her job carried. The criminal court is a flat out joke! I hope Carol’s family gets every cent of that setlement!

My high school guy friends got hired to run the drawbridge. Problem is they got drunk on weekend nights and weren’t good at their job.

[@nathanahubbard1975]

And even they managed not to kill someone.

We need to go back to hiring based on merit and clean criminal records

And drug tests regularly, for these sort of jobs..youknow, those jobs where you hold people's lives in your hands.

We’d have to pay people more so that’ll never happen

What was the penalty for breaking her probation?

[@debasishraychawdhuri]

What I do not understand is why she was given only probation for killing someone and then lying about it.

[@Blaze-qe7yg]

There was no willful intent. She's just your garden variety screw up, who happened to be entrusted to perform an important job. It's obvious the demons are haunting her for her negligence.

[@plasmodesma7569]

You know why. Just think about it for a second.

Should be emergency stop buttons along the bridge, so if its lifting u can alert the tender or stop the bridge when ur on that part of the bridge

[@Flamsterette]

*YOU *YOU'RE

[@YTStoleMyUsername]

That is a great idea. It could at least be a fairly inexpensive alert system that could potentially save lives (and therefore save the city/County money as well in the long term). These alert systems exist in other places so why not?

[@whatdidijustsee9338]

@@Flamsterette 🤣 OK then

[@Gamebuster]

@@YTStoleMyUsername That's an absolutely horrible idea. People would just fiddle with the buttons as they walk along the bridge. You would then have multiple buttons in the emergency position until someone physically went over to each button, and rotated it to allow it to depress and no longer be in the emergency position.
