The partial collapse of a roadway in Wyoming as a result of a landslide that occurred over the weekend raises serious questions about the state of the nation’s infrastructure...

What the ???

Maybe this journalist should talk to a competent geologist or two? Landslides have been a regular thing for a billion or so years. So trying to hang some grand "our nation's infrastructure is fragile!" thesis off one photogenic little slip in Wyoming is about like trying to conclude that American Youth are In Peril from my great grand-niece's most recent poopy diaper.
