I see what you did there.....

[Armybrat 40853]

I used to live about 15 miles from there, so this hits close to the old home.

That truck *almost* made it!  Almost.

He tried to cross it, but he didn’t quite

damn that truck was the only thing on the bridge.... and it doesnt look big enough to be an overweight problem.

Too bad Keanu wasn't driving that truck.

Remember one of the Gulf War I videos General  Schwartzkoff  narrated... showing the “luckiest guy in Baghdad”  driving a truck across the big bridge right before a smart bomb blew it to smithereens?

most of the pedestrians seem pretty unimpressed by all that

Y'all are doing that kinda racist thing where you try to be clever with east asian "words" that mean something in English?

Welcome to Surly (you are almost 2,000 posts into this version of the board) - does this really surprise you?

Sure the pedestrians seem unimpressed, but you should wait to see if any of the people on boats tied to the bridge survive to see what they have to say.

Oh, I'm not surprised. I just think it's an awkward, not-particularly-clever, racist thing people do and I'm being a snarky asshole about it. The tired ass "we're all assholes" schtick doesn't have to include racist memes.

I'm no structural engineer, but shouldn't there be support columns at the arch endpoints?

Driver of that truck:

Kind of stereotyping aren’t you?

I agree it's a slippery slope and a definite chink in our character. We should be caned for our disrespect.
