To all those that hit the RT button about that Amber Alert, I strongly believe you all helped, making it harder for the suspect to drive the vehicle anywhere without getting spotted. Glad to see social media being used to help other people. Kudos to Providence Police as well.

“critical failure of some original bridge components from the 1960s.” is the reason... How did they randomly come across it today/tonight? Usually, things over time break down... this could have been prevented.. If you knew it was from 1960, better inspections would've helped.
