you'd fall to bits if you were hit by 120,000 tons. bridges aren't designed to eat that kind of momentum.face_melter - lol. Peeps thinking the bridge was at fault here. The engineering of these things is remarkable, taking out 1 of the 2 supports is what brought it downGnash
- @Nairn I can bridge nerd on this. I live pretty much on the water, in between a few drawbridges and the second-most popular suicide bridge in the world. Fun!garbage
