https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_Bridge_disaster

The site of the Tay Bridge Disaster, an important point in the history of Dundee, and in rail travel and engineering in general. After the disaster, changed were made to the design of bridges within the UK, to better cope with the effects of high winds on bridges. The bridge collapse was the worst major disaster in Dundee's history, with significant loss of life, and while there are other significant historical landmarks in Dundee, such as the ships the Discovery and the Unicorn, and its many mills the site of the old Tay Rail bridge and its replacement are the most significant in its history - the ships while historic landmarks are the history of seafearing, not of dundee itself, and while the mills in general play an important part of Dundee history not one in particular has more significance than the Tay Rail Bridge. Also I couldn't get parked close enough to the Discovery :argh:

Edit: improved my justification & a clarification.

There will definite be extra imaginary internet points for parking on a rug.

Glad people found that interesting, it's quite a good in depth wiki article.

I think if the stuck car included a goon completely covered in mud trying to get it unstuck that might count for something.
