1992 Bridge Incident/Collapse, Mpia City, Nation Of Mpia.

This is a historical event that I wrote for my nation Mpia, I was just going to post it on Discord but it's far to long. I spent two hours on this.
=== OVERVIEW ===
On the day of March 26th, 1992, it was sunny with zero clouds in the sky, there was a sports game in Mpia City, and thousands of cars were going across the main two decker bridge from the residential area of Mpia City and a huge highway network to the stadium. The cars were bumper to bumper on the top, and due to road construction on the way to the residential and it being a Saturday it was also bumper to bumper on the bottom. 
=== JUST BEFORE ===
At 2:34PM people were getting inpatient on the bridge going to the stadium, due to it starting at 3PM, and it being around a twenty minute drive if there wasn’t traffic. As this was happening, the bridge was creaking and cracking, mostly unheard from most people, but a few people heard it, like John Carrier, who was in his work truck for a lawn company behind a minivan carrying three kids and one women who was the mom. John didn’t think much of it, and just turned up his radio and sat back to relax. In another car there was Peter Zhoni, around in the same position of John but on the lower deck, Peter Zhoni was with his wife and was heading home from a date at a movie theater. 
=== DISASTER (TOP DECK) ===
At 2:56PM a huge slab went out of place and titled a bit going to around 25 degrees, John could see the van he saw earlier sliding along the road with another truck, the truck driver immediately looked over and saw the water below, in a panic he stepped on gas and rammed into a small car, easily pushing it and making room to stay on a stable slab, but the other van couldn’t even think of doing that due to it tilting even more and the car getting stuck. A second later the slab gave way plunging the van and another car of a person that didn’t even feel the tilt down onto the lower deck. Instantly killing all five on impact. 
=== DISASTER (LOWER DECK) ===
Peter saw bits of rock and dust falling and opened up his sunroof cover and saw nothing out of ordinary due to the dark under, so he just looked forward again as the car in front of him was moving forward a bit. All the sudden a huge slab with two cars on it landed on top of the 3 cars in front of him and partially his car and another car next to him, the 3 cars in front of him were crushed and the slab broke into millions of pieces and obliterated the cars falling with it, his wife immediately went into shock as he jumped out of the car door.
=== CIVILIAN RESPONSE ===
Peter immediately tried to help the people involved while many other people in cars around called emergency services, he checked the van and there was blood all over the inside of it and there wasn’t anything that looks like a human inside of it due to huge impact force, he immediately threw up and he tried to check the other cars crushed by the slab and only the middle car didn’t have its top entirely crushed, he decided to check it, as soon he looked inside the car and found a perfectly fine dog laying on the floor, that looked like he was still sound asleep, and a man that looked in his mid-fifties with a bloody forehead and he looked like his neck had snapped. Other people checked the others cars and saw people crushed to death with blood all around them. 
=== EMERGENCY RESPONSE ===
Emergency services were called at 3PM, one of the many calls went like this; 
* “Hello it’s Mpian emergency services, what’s your emergency?” 
* “THE BRIDGE COLLAPSED!! EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE!! jumble” 
* “Ma’am please calm down, what bridge is it?” 
* “I DON’T KNOW IT jumble!!” 
* “Ma’am I can’t come if you can’t calm down and tell me the address.” 
* “I SAID jumble IT GOES TO THE STADIUM THATS jumble” 
* “Ok ma’am, I’ll send someone there.” 
At 3:34 people were finally dispatched, but they went on the top deck instead of bottom delaying the operation, they decided to
set up cones while telling everyone else heading to the scene to go to the bottom deck, at 3:56 a ambulance and police car arrived at the bottom deck and used a saw to get out crushed victims, by this time the person who broke their neck went into cardiac arrest, they pulled out the man and managed to restart his heart by chest compressions while loading him up in the ambulance with his now awake dog by his side. Everyone else that fell or was crushed was pronounced dead on the scene. At 4PM they arrived to the hospital with the only crushed victim that survived and Peters wife who was realized to be in shock unconscious, the rest of the bodies were taken to the morgue. 
In the hospital the crushed victim woke up after being in a coma for 4 months and Peters wife was able to go home the same day. 
=== AFTERMATH (cause, outcome, etc.) ===
The cause of the bridge collapse was discovered to be extreme negligence from the government, and the bridge was redone almost entirely due to the horrible design. The government handed out a million Mpian coins to the families of the victims, and 5 million to the only survivor of the crushing. 
=== AFTERMATH (deaths.) ===
In total 5 automobiles were impacted in some way on the top deck and 5 on the bottom deck. In total 5 people died out of the 10 people on the top deck, and 3 out of the 9 on the bottom deck. Leading to 8 out of the total 19 effected people died, let’s get to the more detailed overview;
