That’s structural rust.
Don't touch it. That's load bearing rust.
Cor-Ten steel is all the rage
It follows trash-heap rules and whoever touches it last before it collapses is at fault
This sounds surprisingly close to how we rate US presidents.
Like Jenga?
It sounds like it's time for Infrastructure Week™
Didn't this one get fixed? It's the one by andersonville right?
How the heck is this safe or acceptable?
Well, it's not. But repairs cost money, and any money spent on those repairs is money that won't go to the billionaire ruling class. Obviously that's no good.

If this collapse and people die, everyone will be like: "omg, that's higher forces, no one ever believe this would happen."
It's very unlikely that this would collapse due to being struck by a 20,000 ton shipping vessel tho.
I’m sure that one on the right has a bend in it for structural reasons…
Oh jeez.
USA is like Serbia now? You should overthrown Serbian government on time, before the cancer spreads...
Shit's been like that since at least 2004 in Chicago, and my bet is that everyone with the power to do anything simply can't see the decline because it's so slow. It was like this 20 years ago, it's been fine for 20 years, so it's gonna be fine for another 20, right? Then let some other poor sucker of mayor raise taxes to try and pay for shit.
