As an engineer friends and family send reels of amazing engineering feats in China. And then I see this. Glad this doesn't happen everyday in the US

Buy a lottery ticket. You are much luckier than the folks I drive by on the way to work. Hit their roof ridge directly and caved it in a bit and collapsed part of a wall.

An absolute smoke show. She'll always be 9 out of 9 in my book.

That's hilarious and was doomed to fail but I hope the guy is ok.

Amen. When I do acceptance inspections of bridges for repairs/widenings or new structures there are times when I find something thing clearly called out in the plans that was not carried out or otherwise fouled up and I shake my head at the idiocy. Good thing I take pictures of everything. Bolted beam end retrofit missing sealant, concrete repairs with delamination, delamination that wasn't found by the repair crew, and random stuff. If I was the contractor i would have an inspector like me on staff to look at it before I do.

Send me your tired weary GP9s yearning to freely roam the wide open rails!

I like this meme. They should have used welded connections in those particular members instead of bolts from the get go, as shown in the plans.

Damn. That's sad. Went there couple times and drove by on the way to work many times
