There are many suspension bridges in New York City. To name a few: the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, the Throgs Neck Bridge, the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, and the East River Bridge. The East River Bridge is part of the Triboro aka Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, which is actually three connected bridges. The other two are the Harlem River Bridge (a lift bridge) and the Bronx Kill Crossing (a truss bridge).
civil engineers, structural engineers, and architects are the main bridge builders.
First of all the people there did not know that the safety net wasn't sufficient and 11 people fell off and died. :'(Jalapeno waz here and JayJaycoolness

The engineers that were responsible for building the bridge, created the 3D bridge on a 2D model. Plus the weight that the bridge could hold, was not calculated right for the people. Oops!
