[[File:bridge.jpg|250px|thumb|right|''“Road slippage.” (NetEase)'']][[File:bridge2.jpg|250px|thumb|right|''A government official looking over the “irrefutable objective facts.” (artist unknown)'']]On the morning of August 24, 2012, [http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2012/08/gdp-infrastructure-train-crashes-and-tofu-bridges/#harbin an overland section of the Yangmingtan Bridge collapsed in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, killing three and injuring five others].

After the accident, the government convened [http://news.ifeng.com/mainland/special/yangmingtandaqiao/content-3/detail_2012_08/25/17090332_0.shtml a press conference in which the secretary of the Harbin city government stated that a section of the road had “slipped”] [zh]. Netizens were critical of the government calling it a section of “road” (instead of a section of “bridge”) and a “slip” (instead of a “collapse”).

The government initially placed the blame on overloaded vehicles (a common scapegoat in a string of similar accidents across China) and then launched a formal investigation. The government denied initial reports that the contractors could not be found.
