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…
The unnamed bridge this morning.
They have a tay hut!

What could have caused that?
People really need to check the clearance of bridges! twitter.com/omegar24/statu…

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.
Chelsea Morgan sez:
Just some young wans marching across the James Joyce bridge and sliding down the other side.
Spotted on the bridge by the Four Courts – I thought all trolls were located below the comment line on @broadsheet_ie ? lockerz.com/s/225638216

The Bridge to Russky Island across the Bosphorus Strait at Vladivostok becomes the latest climbing challenge for crazy 18 year-old Youtber raskalovit and his daredevil friends.
The pylon they’re scaling here is 320m high.
Pic of the new bridge just a few minutes ago. Not sure what happened but I think Cthulhu is trying to get out.
