As you may know, a brand new, large pedestrian bridge collapsed in Miami today, causing MULTIPLE fatalities.
BDI, a “structural testing service” company, put up the following tweet to express their condolences:
We are deeply saddened to hear that the pedestrian bridge has collapsed at #FIU. Our hearts go out to the individuals and families that have been affected by the collapse.https://t.co/Ky8D80yrVe

But Twitter users noticed something else… a conveniently missing tweet…
Wheres the deleted tweet? https://t.co/78goAcyJsn

What was the tweet?
The company that ran tests just deleted this 3 day old Tweet. pic.twitter.com/WR7p6pl0eW

Yeah…. the very same bridge that collapsed.
horrible way to handle the situation in deleting those tweets – makes it feel like you were hiding something (even if that wasn’t the intention). The cover-up always makes the fuck up worse. Hope you guys own it from here.

More like “We fucked up and have cost individuals and families the opportunity to go home tonight”. Your CEO better answer some questions to the public ASAP. Better get your cheque book out too because you’ll be paying out the ass in fines & compensation to the affected people.

Yikes.
Are you sure you didn’t remove that tweet because it mentioned that you “performed the structural monitoring”.

This is really bad…But did they really think no one would notice?

Good job on the testing cowboys. I have some work I’d like you to test as well. Contact me ASAP! I do lots of bridges.

Saddened by getting caught doing shoddy work. Look up negligent homocide/involuntary manslaughter. @FLGovScott @MiamiDadeCounty @MiamiDadePD @MiamiDadeEM

You had one job.

WOOF.
Did they really think deleting a tweet and putting up a generic condolence was going to wipe their hands clean of this?
I think not…
