Hi, Ardith Hinton -> Mike Powell!
I read your message from  20.03.2018 16:53
about to be or not to be that i.


 MP>>  "... it had ordered Thursday that the cables be tightened..."


 AH>            No problem there, AFAIC....  :-)

So, how about the reported speech? Maybe should be "were tighted" afterr all?

-----Beginning of the citation-----
The engineering firm building the bridge at Florida International University
had ordered Thursday that the cables be tightened, Mr. Rubio, a Republican,
said in a late Thursday tweet. "They were being tightened when it collapsed,"
he said.
----- The end of the citation -----

Bye, Ardith!
