^dude...stfu & gtfo...this is spikedHUMOR. What`s the point of laughing at something if all pussies like you are going to do is bitch and whine about something that happened 60+ years ago.

ug7344 ill say what the fuck i want and im not getting the fuck out so you can just go fuck yourself. if you think im a pussy for saying that a dog dying isnt funny you have mental issues. and if you think everything on here is funny your fucking stupid. I hope you have a pet and it fucking dies when someone could have saved it and then some stupid asshole who thinks he is funny says AHAHAH your fucking dog died, you souless, heartless, fat ass, piece of shit, internet faggot.

That engineer has some balls for walking out there to check it out. I`d be sure to stay a good distance away from the swinging bridge of death.

^ and ug7344, this isn`t /b/. No one is going to stfu or gtfo because they disagree with you, or vice versa.

I find it amazing how its concrete, yet it bends like a rubber band.

PS: Fuck you ug7344!

Ug7344 isn`t even sincere anyway. He just pretends to find the dog`s death funny in a pathetic attempt to look like a tough guy. He confirmed it by calling everyone else "a pussy".

That`s a sing that he has self-esteem issues and is in desperate need of attention.

All he needs really is a hug. But I ain`t giving him one.

The nodal line is hypothesized as not suffering any deformation, though I wonder where the Saint Venant principle applies given the wind is kinda surrounding the whole thing?

Someone should tell mythbusters the sound of that bridge twisting is the "brown note" they were looking for, but for it to work you need to be standing on the bridge while its boogying.

guys, guys...seriously? just because I laugh at something like a dog dying with a bridge doesn`t mean I don`t like animals...i just found it funny how the narrator put it "and he perished along with the bridge"

and i`m surprised someone mentioned /b/ haha yeah oh yeah i`m fucking anon look at me i`m gonna look like a fuckin tough guy but when an animal gets abused and dies i`m going to bitch and whine...what i said was completely opposite of /b/ and I hate those fucking pussies on /b/ i never want to be associated with /b/ ever

you can vote me down now

I mentioned /b/ because we usually don`t see people saying stfu & gtfo here. I associate stfu/gtfo with /b/.

If the dog`s owner couldn`t get him out because he was too frightened then I don`t blame the engineer for giving up too. I think there`s another clip somewhere that shows him trying to get the dog...

That concrete can `bend` like that because it was fiber reinforced or steel reinforced making it more ductile. It has the same strength of normal strength concrete but it just adds the ductile feature. Trust me, you want that ductile feature because it gives u time to run instead of it failing immediately
