Not that industry shouldn’t be held duly accountable, but at least infrastructure is a reasonable thing for taxpayer money to be spent on. As opposed to what hawks like Lieberman would propose.

Well, yes and no. Public dollars paid for that bridge in the first place. My opinion is that those responsible for knocking it down should pay for its restoration, the environmental remediation, and losses incurred because of the downtime caused by the crash. Not to mention the pain and suffering of the families of the workers who were killed. That most of all.
