Sometimes moving on means burning bridges, which in my opinion is a little silly because in today’s interconnected world, our assoications have become like currency. On the other hand, sometimes you need to blow a bridge to fucking smithereens, because there is a literal bridge that has become structurally unstable.
“The poor condition of our bridges is a problem that is not going away,” said Andy Herrmann, president-elect of the American Society of Civil Engineers, “Most of the nation’s bridges were designed to last 50 years, and today, roughly a third are already 50 years or older. (via T4America.org)
Today I share a video with the latter situation, it’s much cooler to watch than I had initially expected.
After 84 years of service, the historic Fort Steuben Bridge—which connected Ohio and West Virginia along the Ohio River—was demolished on Tuesday with the aid of more than 150 pounds of explosives. Hate to see you go, old friend, but love to watch you get blown away.
