At some point, they decided that bridges should have structural redundancy, so that a single point of failure couldn't bring down the whole span. Probably why they decided to replace that bridge. Just to prove the point, they knocked it down with a jackhammer.
Never could understand the reasons for letting bridges fall into the water. Now they are going to have to spend loads of money using barges to haul that crap away. Or do they just leave it to pollute and obstruct the river? Inquiring minds need to know.
They'll call the debris an "artificial reef" and the Feds will give them $20 billion as a reward for saving the blue-fin trout in the area. We're so screwed here.
Steve - how exactly do you safely dismantle a bridge that only requires a single span cut to drop the entire thing? “Keep it out of the river?” Ok - how do you do that with a bridge that fall apart with the first piece removed?
Sure, but the Degree of Difficulty of that Reverse Inward Triple Side Flip is 4.5! Hitting a 9.0 brings his overall to 40.5 for this round. That's a bold move, Cotton.
Pretty sure he was setting up his new awesome ramp, and wanted to test it before trusting it with his weight. Or maybe trying to break the board. Either way, it's pretty clear he was shocked when that post fell over.
IMHO, Never assume malice when stupidity is an adequate explanation, especially with kids.
I like to think the subsequent parking ticket is probably the reason that video was discovered. Too bad it doesn't show the asshole's plates. I hope they got off, too bad they had to waste time in court over it.
If you've ever collected eggs, you'd think this was a good idea. Grandma would have kicked my rear, but some of those chickens, you'd think you kidnapped their kid.
#7 ... Looks for installation picture on the cassette. Can't find one, so he tries to swipe it like a credit card. I would laugh, only I haven't forgotten that when I was given a flip phone, I didn't know how to use it. Some kid on the train who looks like that guy showed me how. Stupid phone wouldn't take the quarters I was trying to insert in it.
#1) I keep going back to watch this one. Her total disregard for the chickens as living animals and not as stuffed toys makes me giggle. Just grab a handful of feather and chuck that chicken, girl. Birds Aren't Real.
Having been in that child's situation, at around that age, I don't blame her in the least. Chickens are assholes, especially some hens when it comes to taking their eggs. She didn't want to waist time negotiating and getting pecked or flogged, good on her.
Back in the day when we had a large amount of laying hens, there were always a couple of them who didn't lay eggs, but just wanted to sit on them and would peck my hand when I tried to gather the eggs. We called them clucks and their necks were the handles for removing them from the nest boxes. Peck me once shame on you. Peck me the second time and whoosh, goodbye.

#7 Should have seen him with an 8 track...
ReplyDeleteI've seen video of kids confronted with a dial phone who stick their fingers in the holes as if they were push buttons.
DeleteLet's not make it that easy, 45 but lay the adapter beside it.

Safety reason?

DeleteWouldn't dropping a bridge like that create a huge navigation hazard?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing navigation warnings were put out ahead of time so ships could arrange alternative routes while the debris was removed.

We get the implosion of Japan and Germany's economies before we get wiped out.
DeleteAt least it's a warning.

ReplyDelete#4 Thank goodness for dead-man switches.
it didn't look deliberate. Paying for it isn't enough?

ReplyDelete#1 needs to collect the Eggs more often
ReplyDeleteIf you've ever collected eggs, you'd think this was a good idea. Grandma would have kicked my rear, but some of those chickens, you'd think you kidnapped their kid.
Delete#3: Don't believe that is going to buff out.
ReplyDelete#2 that was me as a kid with an old tank crew helmet.
ReplyDeleteIf my grandson saw this, he'd be doing it tomorrow.
Delete#10. Drag the miserable POS driver out of the car, beat the snot out of them , then set the car on fire
ReplyDeleteHaven't you heard that Bimmer owners get 5 'I can be an asshole on the road' cards after they've signed the sales contract?
DeleteYour Beemer owners only get five? Hell, I got fifteen of those sumbitches.
