What a great video.

A slow moving, inevitable disaster. As bad as this was for the barge, it was likely as bad for the bridge users. Watch the crane.

But there is a bright spot. At least my day isn't likely to be as bad as the guys on the barge had it.

What a mess! Job security for the clean up crew, that’s going to take a while.

Couldn't have been Thailand. Some cowboy would have lassoed that thing and they'd have it broken down for scrap within 20 feet.

That had to compromise the bridge.

I was like: Ohh.. that's not that bad on impact. Then It slowly go WAY worse.

My thoughts as well. I was actually expecting to see it collapse, but was impressed with how well it handled it. That's a lot of force...hopefully it gets a thorough inspection before they open it back up.

A not so subtle reminder of the amazing power of water and of gravity.
