Mankind has always found unique ways to bridge the gaps between parallel landmasses. Engineers worldwide are tasked with designing bridges that will hold up in the worst possible conditions, and will ultimately protect the safety of the public using them. In Canada, engineers are given an iron ring that we wear on our dominant hand, on the pinky finger. This is to act as a reminder of the lives that were lost when a bridge collapsed in Quebec killing many civilians. As we sign off on drawings we're to remember our decisions can affect many lives.
