Original Note:
The FIU bridge contract was awarded to Munilla Construction, run by Jorge Munilla and his brothers. The engineer who designed and inspected the bridge, dismissing serious safety concerns, was also male: W. Denney Pate. There were no “female engineers” involved. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/munilla-family-firm-behind-collapsed-fiu-bridge-are-major-miami-political-players-10176950 https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article272940335.html https://www.local10.com/news/local/2021/02/19/president-of-construction-company-in-fiu-bridge-collapse-we-wish-we-would-have-done-more/ https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/our-american-dream-family-owned-construction-firm-returns-to-cuba-after-55-years
