Where is this?

I thought we got rid of that wicked sof?

 

Obviously not.............

 

Not the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, Guillermo. A rather better known bridge, in fact. And wind wasn't a problem on the day in question.

 

Well, the Golden Gate bridge got shattered a bit during a earthquake.....

 

Golden Gate, Yes! Bravo! But not an earthquake. The ten foot deflection visible was caused by a rather more unusual event...

 

No idea Tiny.....

 

50th anniversary crowd, 1987. page 17 of attached shows your photo. Scary!

bang on-well done murdomac.

The bridge was closed to traffic for a day, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its opening. The anticipated crowd was 50 000. On the day, a staggering 800 000 people walked onto the bridge, exceeding the design load, but thankfully not the considerable safety margin. Some sources consider that without the engineering works over the years, to strengthen, and more recently lighten the bridge, failure could have been a real possibility.The huge loading caused a deflection of some 10 feet in the road deck, which is what we see in the first picture.

 

Seeing as we are on bridges, try this remote one. I have driven over it and I have sailed through the narrows, but not since the bridge was installed.

 

Murdomack, you might want to delete that pic, rename it something more ambiguous and re attach!

 

There's one born every minute

 

New Amsterdam

or is it Constantinople?

 

I don't think so, I've never heard it called either of these

 

I'll need to give a big clue here, I think. 006deg,41.8' West

 

How is 41.8 possible?


And where is Angel?

Why was the post asking for her deleted?

Are such questions censored now?
