Walkout against bridges

The only thing that will stop a bad bridge from collapsing is a good bridge...with a gun.

Full semi auto bridges with a 30 person capacity. Escalators can't match the velocities.

Why do you need a bridge that can hold 30 people?

No wonder it collapsed. These people can't even master the dimensions of a paragraph.

Just because some people want these bridges regulated, doesn't mean they are coming to take your structurally safe ones.

You can’t use Brick as an example like that.

This is true. I'm sure the structural engineer is rechecking the calculations...

My guess is bolt and/or weld shearing.

The worst thing about that film is they pose it as some mystery as to why that bridge collapsed.

They know exactly why the bridge collapsed, instead of cables for the suspension, they used eye-bars to hold up the roadway. The cables you see on other suspension bridges have redundancy in them as they are really made up of hundred of thousands of individual smaller cables which are intertwined. You may see some smaller cables break, but there are hundreds or thousands of others ones which are still there holding up the load. When a pin connecting the eye-bars on the Silver Bridge broke due to fatigue, there was no redundancy to carry the load of the bridge deck so of course it collapsed. There is a reason suspension bridges aren't made like that.

As I said earlier, bridges don't kill people; incompetent engineers kill people.

I don’t know about the film. I just know the real story of a winged beast that caused the bridge to collapse and terrorized the town residents.

Why were they proud of it being a "safe" bridge? Are other bridges designed like guns to be mass murder devices?


Yes and we need to ban assault bridges.

Have you seen the size of some of those Floridians?
