Horrifying Scene - Free floating barge barge hits The bridge

[@westernstateswaterreplenis4612]

Amazing how powerful the water is. Also it is a very well built bridge.

[@Puppydoug]

Agreed. A VERY well constructed bridge!

[@billredding2000]

Yes, it is...and HIGHLY unusual for China, considering their preference is Tofu Dreg construction for buildings/condos/apartments, etc., where people live at great risk of their lives. -- BR

[@michaelnovak7343]

What river is this?

[@felixcat9318]

Update: They're still sunk! On a more serious note, due to the shallow depth of the water, they can be salvaged quite easily. All of this would have been completely avoided by simply securing the mooring lines and using sufficient mooring lines for the expected, forecast conditions!

[@pilotrt]
