  • It's the end of an era for a historic bridge in Paris as the government begins to remove the symbolic padlocks. Some call them an eyesore and a safety hazard. Mark Philips shows us how the relationship with the "love locks" turned sour.

    They should melt them all and make them into like a big tower or Bridge where other people can clip locks onto it and then when that gets too much the Melt the locks that were clipped onto it and build more on to that thing they makes the last ones so then they will always be remembered there or maybe they could have something where they can carve it into

    • @scootergrant8683
      @scootergrant8683 Před 3 lety

      I understand it is a suggestion however I don't think it would be fit for Paris. At least not in the heritage rich centre but instead elsewhere. But also one would have to weigh up the pros and cons and cost benefit of going through and re-casting all those metals. Because the locks range from so many different types of metal, they would have to send it to a metal merchant and ask him to separate the different metals. Bearing in mind he has his own shipments coming in by the tonne each day to deal with. So he would have to shut down the facility's shipments so that only the locks are taken in and separated into the individual metals. The reason one has to separate them is that certain alloys don't do well outdoors including certain steels. Also by melting them all one might find the new alloy is too week.

      Chris Marshall people have put these things there as tokens of their love. I’m not soppy but it’s their way of showing some affection with a bit of fun. ‘Melt it down for scrap’ is a bit of a sociopathic thing to say. Maybe your wife’s wedding ring should be melted down for scrap too. I reckon yours may as well be, cos you haven’t got a scrap of romance in your heart.

I mean it is destroying property and they could find a better safer way to show love but honestly it’s rude for others to hate.

    They're sure as hell NOT an eyesore (except to sad jackasses that can't get a partner, probably even by their own fault) and instead show how many happy couples there are all over the world.
    On the other hand the weight problem can't be denied, especially on a bridge of which a part already collapsed under the weight of those locks. The grids that the locks are attached to probably weighed only like 20 - 30 kilos when they were empty. Now, with the weight of all those locks each of them must be weighing somewhere around a TON! I've seen another video on this topic and they had to use a crane with a steel beam to lift them, with 2 chains at the ends and additional 2 in the middle to avoid having the whole thing bend.
    Meanwhile my girlfriend and me are planning to attach a lock to the Hohenzollern-bride in cologne and shoot the keys off the bridge and into the river using a slingshot. Lock's on the way.
