Uh, they were probably right! I was there 70 - 74 stationed on the
Atlantic side at Coco Solo (Galetta Island) Navy Base.

I remember when two buses were racing on the Bridge of the Americas,
side by side, when one cut in forcing the other over the side. It
landed on its roof and all aboard where killed. They (the
Panamanians) blamed it on the U.S. for building an "unsafe bridge".
