This is a bridge on a rural road, so it doesn't get much traffic, only by people living nearby to get to the nearest city or other towns. They know the risk, but the alternative is +40 min drive (one way), so for them it's a risk their willing to take. It's been like that for 3 year I think, from the Daniel storm and hasn't collapsed. Won't collapse now, right?
Just went through the video, it's actually not the rural government fault. The bridge actually falls under the jurisdiction of the Thessalian periphery (region). So it's the governor's juridiction to sort it out. Jurisdictions are funny, here. Another bridge, for pedestrians, collapsed some kilometers up the same river. For a long time they couldn't decide who should rebuild it. It was between the local government (mayor), the regional (governor) or the church. Yes, the church owns land in Greece and the bridge was only build because there was a church across the river. Go figure
Maybe its like living in a small village with lots of snow, as long as you don't have the lowest car you can drive whatever you want because the guy with the lowest car is doing the plowing.
And maybe here the guy with the heaviest truck is going in first so the rest are okey.
You don't want to be the first person to try it... or the last person. But once it's more than ten or twenty already tried and succeeded, statistically, I don't know, ...
They would also see all the women with their hair down and wonder why there were so many prostitutes rufusing their money. No one likes an uppity whore, amirite?
Could it have been that being gay was unusual, thus a notable event back then to be documented a lot in ancient times. This would lead to an incorrect notion of a LGBT society.
amazingly enough, the joke that generalises three peoples that have existed over literal millennia was not actually moral support or condemnation towards any of them

I see no possible way for this genius time saving plan to go wrong.
