This is probably OSHA... somehow...

It's a three piece set... two seats and the couch

Probably a good thing they didn't start with that.

He�s wearing a very basic dive computer, that can�t compensate for the varying levels of O2 in his system over the dive. Looks like a Suunto Zoop, which only calculates decompression limits for up to 40% O2/60% N2 as your breathing gas. I think manual O2 add-valves were phased out of military rebreathers in the 40�s or 50�s, maybe?

Congrats on ignoring every facet of basic safety in design, in execution, and every technological advancement in the field of scuba diving for the last 70 years. He doesn�t even have a loving bailout tank ffs, for when his death trap inevitably offers him up to the abyss.

The images on that one are still live, and I was not ready to laugh that hard at them

Interestingly, that seems very close to the analysis Uncle Bumblefuck came up with in his shed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtiTm2dKLgU

Though he suggested that it was a steel rod that failed while they say it was the concrete around one end of the rod that failed. Which is a pretty good guess from someone who never actually went to the bridge and saw stuff in person.

After watching both of those, I'm inclined to agree with Bumblefuck that the final straw that broke was the tensioning rods snapping. I'd not seen a good quality version of the footage from the roadway dashcam before.

I mean certainly, the concrete failure and insufficient reinforcement was what put the rods into uh... (*checks bumblefuck video for terminology*) yield mode, and was the ultimate cause, but you're right... a drat good guess.

I wanted to see what the warning signs were like coming from the other direction, so I checked on google maps - seems pretty well marked.

and there's more at the turn...

... then I turned around... Uh guys...

... uh... guys...?

Guy running the 11'8'' bridge youtube channel uploaded a video of the bridge and crashbeam removal. The size of the dent in that thing is amazing.

Eleven years, eight months...

:tinfoil:

Edit: was good of them to allow him on the site.

Would love to hear some more insight on this one from the drill people in here!

What about a modern motorcycle helmet?

It won't offer ballistic protection against that either....

OH HELL NAW

Looks to me like the wood either has a notch carved through lengthwise or has had bits added to give it an inverted U-section that slots over the spikes... Clearly it's not OSHA but probably a technique used for some time and possibly safer than trying to use the ladder next to them in the confined space or trying to set it up over the fence.

Probably should have used a scaffold, but then again this tweeted image from the same event probably explains why they didn't...

Looking at it though, that driver's side door is pretty OK. They should make a nice little plaque for it with these photos and mount it on the wall of the workshop for posterity.

Passenger door might be a better choice... it's possibly flatter.
