Should it be reasonably assumed the fault for the disaster and the deaths of 78 people was not down to the "clown' nor the 'geese' but that the bridge collapsed due to the weight of the people leading to the deaths of the 'watchers'?
Isn't that the sort of thing we see in Britain these days where people blame someone else for their mishaps (the Clown and the geese' in this case) and not themselves?
The sign needs to be rewritten to record the true reason for the tragedy and stop blaming the four paddling geese - who presumably did not have a leg to stand on.
