Breaking News: Belle Isle Bridge is (not) falling down (yet)

5:14 PM EDT on June 1, 2016

Earlier today, KOCO Channel 5 shared some terrifying news on social media that "a large piece of concrete" fell off the Belle Isle Bridge. The notification immediately got the attention of all those people who like and share Facebook posts without actually reading more than the headline, like TLO's own FNITBT Maester Adam Holt:

Wow. A large piece of concrete fell off an Oklahoma bridge. That's impossible! Thanks to the leadership of our Governor and Legislature, Oklahoma has some of the best roads and bridges in the country. How could something go wrong with one? It must be the work of ISIS, Draymond Green or Barack Obama.
