CalTrans bridge collapses at San Elijo Lagoon?


That’s not good.

UPDATE: Part of the design?

  6. Did the falsework really collapse or is that jut thee planned contour of the bridge overpass?

  7. 7:25 is right.

    This is part of the bridge design. The supports underneath would be broken--they aren't. Also, look at the angled wood braces to the right side of the dip. The boards get longer and longer into the dip. If they started out straight and partially collapsed, they would all be the same length.

    It only looks like a collapse because the falsework is under construction and doesn't continue across to the north piling on the left edge of the picture. Once finished, there will be two symmetrical dips.

  8. But for purposes of continued outrage, let's keep calling it a collapse. Because we here want to be dissatisfied by more things than not.

  9. Sadly, we have been trained to think and expect the worst.

  10. We have to destroy the environment to protect the environment. Liberalism is a mental disease.

    2. 3:30,

      Is this a game of grumpy nonsense non sequiturs?

      Can I play?

      I hate people who drive too slow in the passing lane.

    3. I hate cyclists coasting and not pedaling when there's a long line of cars behind them. Also cyclists who blow through stop signs and lights.
