Memphis bridge video - 24hourcampfire

Hope no one already posted this. Seems it just went up on yutube yesterday. Guy draws some interesting conclusions:

And then there’s the golden arches

Lets not forget them arches over those tatas in the golfer girl video.

Saw that yesterday on Youtube... Helluva lot more than just a 'crack'...

Says a lot about the inspection process and inspectors and those who sign off on these things.

Gotta keep things movin' right? We'll fix it when it becomes a real problem?

This is the coolest bridge incident.

Then there was the real tragedy in Mt Pleasant WV.

I'm from Ohio & I've been terrified of Mothman since I was a baby - sends chills down my spine

Huey P. Long bridge - new orleans is my favorite bridge to cross , sitting on it cars/trucks/semi's backed up bumper to bumper feeling it sway is fun

I think that tacoma narrows bridge footage has been on every episode of ripley’s believe or not. Even Animal Planet if they can squeeze it in there.

sheesh

Must have been designed by a graduate of the Univ. of Washington engineering school.

At Point Pleasant there is a gift shop near the Mothman statue, ran by a hillbilly guy with an Elvis hairdo. If you strike up a conversation with him while buying a Mothman beer koozie, you will get a lecture about how the Mothman was a gubbermint experiment and about black helicopters.

Easy now . . .

BTW - there isn't a single "engineering school" at UW . . .

I work with a bunch of bridge engineers. My favorite joke (which they hate) is: "What's the difference between a bridge engineer and God? - God doesn't think he's a bridge engineer!"

What do ya want to bet they threw bridge inspections into overdrive and are checking the rest..

Easy is good - that's why I was somewhat ambiguous - posted that because a close relative and excellent engineer is a grad in M.E. from the U.W. - figured he would get a kick.

Is that bridge open yet?

When it first happened there were several bridge engineers here who were confident it could be easily patched.

More practical than a golden shower.

I’m not a bridge engineer but I’d like to take a crack at it.

See what I did there?

Not only no, but, HELL NO! Should see the CF that is I-55 choked with two 2X the normal CF trying to leave Memphrica! Three hours for about eight miles last Friday.

JB Weld?
