I fail to see how that's Google Maps' fault. This is the city's fault for not blocking the bridge. Would people have complained if a paper map didn't update all the collapsed bridges daily?
-
It's from India, here either news reporters take bribe to not write it was authorities fault or can't think straight and rational.
-
I'd probably also somewhat blame the person that drove off the bridge that clearly goes nowhere.

Looks like it might have been dark and foggy. The government failed to block the extremely dangerous situation— a standard practice when a bridge is put in other places.

Seems like blame can be applied at least three ways at once.
