silver spring transit center: Don't you think that it's strange?

The news media have been reporting the "monumental debacle" Silver Spring Transit Center for more than two years. KCE's structural evaluation report for the SSTC was made public in March 2013.

Don't you think that it's strange that in the past two plus years that news media:

haven't reported why the 315 ft. wide by 580 ft. long SSTC doesn't have any expansion joints, when WMATA design and construction standards require expansion joints to be placed no farther apart than every 100 ft.?

haven't reported why Montgomery County non-competitively selected private builder Foulger Pratt, private engineer Parsons Brinkerhoff and private concrete inspector/tester Balter Co., when private companies are selected competitively for most public works projects?

haven't asked Montgomery County, the Federal Transit Administration or the Maryland Transit Administration why public hearings weren't held after release of the KCE report, where taxpayers (county, state and federal) could ask their questions and provide their comments on the public record, before spending additional tens of millions on "repairs", and before the SSTC is opened to the public?

haven't asked Montgomery County officials and their paid and unpaid consultants why they say that the SSTC is (or will be) safe, given the numerous structural flaws documented in KCE's report e.g., widespread cracking, no expansion joints, under-strength and over-stressed concrete, slabs more than an inch thinner than what they're supposed to be, missing reinforcement, exposed reinforcement, design errors, concrete test reports that show exactly the same test data for multiple samples, etc.?

I find the latter to be particularly strange, because:

many of the design, construction and inspection errors documented in KCE's report are not addressed by "repairs", e.g., the SSTC's complete lack of expansion joints, under-strength and over-stressed concrete and cracking in concrete girders and columns.

the SSTC hasn't seen its first fully loaded bus.

In numerous news media reports Montgomery County officials and their paid and unpaid private consultants say that the SSTC is, or will be, safe. David Dise has been quoted numerous times as saying "The SSTC will absolutely be safe." Why are they so sure? Do they have x-ray vision that allows them to search for undetected structural flaws inside the SSTC's hardened concrete frame, e.g. missing reinforcement, reinforcement that is less than what is called for (diameter, length, grade, embedment length and details, insufficiently tied to other reinforcement, etc.)? Surely with the many structural flaws that KCE uncovered with their random tests, there must be additional flaws that are yet undetected. Are they seers? Can they foretell the future?

A severely flawed structure can result in failure and death.

In all of the news media reports over the past more than two years (print, TV, radio, internet) not a single reporter or news media outlet has asked these questions. Strange.
