The first oil taken from the ground in the USA as in Pennsylvania. Look up Drakes well.
Grady!!!!!! :)
All US railroads park heavy cars on bridges in an to keep the water from lifting the bridge off the supports. If the water is too fast or too much debris collects on the bridge it gets pushed off the supports anyway. In this case the water washed the soil out from under the supports causi g the collapse.
And with it being a 'floating' foundation the river has a serious edge in its battle to kick the bridge over. Stuff could have been done to help that bridge, but at least it wasn't simple stupidity that caused the failure. And oh good, the replacement is pylons anchored into the bedrock, that's much better.
Flowing water is powerful stuff!
Since 1947, Texas City seems to have gathered a reputation that no city really wants.
Iowa railroad bridge take out by the river after a loaded train was used to stabilize the bridge against the mighty river, shades of "Tycoon", with John Wayne and Anthony Quinn. "Scour" was actually part of what initiated the collapse of the Saint Francis Dam.
Forget the giant Ferris wheels. They're all closed because nobody can build them safely.
London Bridge wasn't the only one that went kerplop. They're always price-cutting fools willing to cut corners and throats to save a buck.
The Corvette museum had nothing to do with poor engineering. It was a sinkhole. Sinkholes can be natural or accidentally made by man. It is the eroding of rock or soil unseen underground.It can happen in most of Florida at all NY time because of the base rock eroding away because of underground water. It happened in many areas of the world. Man made is caused by man disturbing the ground causing underground water to change course or allowing water to move like when we bury pipes , sewers and other infrastructure projects. We bed pipes in sand and gravel to protect them but, in doing so we create moving, eroding water. Leaking water and sewer lines can also cause emission that opens up cavities which leads to collapse.
Grady?? lol
Is this about that wooden bridge that should last one hundred years?😆
😅 sorry to tell you, it was not a wooden bridge, the wood are support for casting concrete - just so you know 🤗
It may be the one you're thinking of. The wooden *casting form* that the concrete was being poured into was improperly made, so we saw 'lots of lumber' in the catastrophe's photographs, but the wood was there to hem in the concrete they were pouring to make a 'one-piece concrete roadway' or whatever. The forms failed before the concrete had hardened at all, so it mostly flowed away. But yes, this might include the one you are thinking of. The explanation starts at about 33:22 in this video.
