Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday ordered that flags be flown at half-staff Thursday in honor of the six people who died last week when a Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapsed in Miami-Dade County.
Scott ordered that the U.S. and Florida flags be flown at hall-staff at the state Capitol in Tallahassee and at all local and state buildings in Miami-Dade.
