Shortly after this video went viral:

Add to it the fact that Cristi is also romanian jargon for Jesus, and you'll end up with your newsfeed full of memes :lol:

Bridge demolished in Pennsylvania

I'm surprised it wasn't cheaper to do it bit by bit? Doesn't that block the river?

I don't believe the river is navigable there, at least not for commercial traffic. I spent a lot of time in that part of Pennsylvania growing up and much of the Allegheny River is pretty shallow.

I really hate it when they demolish these old bridges, though. They are part of the charm of that area and the replacements are always ugly steel and concrete eyesores, which while no doubt cheap, just don't have the personality of an old green truss bridge.

My brother and I used to hike around the mountains out there and run across old railroad truss bridges and abandoned tunnels and oil pumping equipment deep in the woods.

Taking it apart bit by bit is far more time intensive. They just want to cut it into small enough chunks to get to a scrapyard.

I agree, these nice old steel rail bridges should see a better end. A few have been made into pedestrian bike paths up here in Massachusetts.

That was a heck of a demolition though, timed cutting charges dropping everything into the river. Nice job.

Not to mention they did the day after a major blizzard. But that's western Pennsylvania; lots of snow all winter.

Fake.
It's a static image.
Real paint drying changes colour and glossiness over hours, while this is just a single, unchanging frame.

Of course, didn't you? If not you missed the really hot girls who walk past somewhere in the middle.
