BBC Report on Possible Hammersmith Flyover collapse tonight

Apparently it will claim that TfL were warned of a possible collapse two months before they took any action.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20533457

On the basis of what I saw there was little to get excited about. An engineer's report highlighted the tiny risk at the end of October and the flyover was shut in December. The miniscule chances of it falling down would have to be weighed against the absolute certainty that unplanned closures or even weight restrictions would cause huge traffic chaos even greater than that which did occur during the closure.
