firebridge

Last Sunday, a railroad bridge across the Colorado River between San Saba and Lometa in Texas caught fire. All the firecrews could do was watch (and film it). Firefighter captain Jack Blossman said:

Within 25 seconds, it was just gone, and then it just turned into a giant fireball, because of all of the creosote in the cross-ties.

Wait for it…

What could have caused that?

 

Ah.


A concept (alas), suggested for installation near the Pont de Bir-Hakeim in Paris by French design firm AZC, what sez:

…it is formed of inflatable modules, like giant life-preservers, 30 meters in diameter. In the central part of each ring, a trampoline mesh is stretched. The floating buoys, fabricated in PVC membrane, are attached together by cord to form a stable and self-supporting ensemble. Each module under tension – filled with 3700 cubic meters of air – develops in space with an arch-like form.
