Manipulative Bridge Tender Opens Drawbridge as Woman is Walking Across | Carol Wright Case Analysis

[@scarletamazon3455]

I was having the same thought. He tried to help! It must haunt him, even though it wasn't his fault at all. I know anyone and everyone claims PTSD nowadays, so I rarely admit this, but I have diagnosed PTSD from a very traumatic experience (was ten years ago, so it's not as severe as it was, I worked hard in therapy) but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he experiences PTSD symptoms like flashbacks and vivid nightmares, and feels a lot of survivors guilt for not being able to save her. I hope he also sues the company in charge of that bridge and gets a good settlement to cover his own medical expenses.

In my 41 years on this planet, I’ve learned one thing over and over again. Any kind of power or control, no matter how minor, and it just warps people. I recently had an issue with a bus driver who refused to pull over and allow vehicles to pass on our country road. I passed her legally and the next day, she left the yellow warning lights on the entire stretch, even though there were no stops on that stretch. I passed her again, and she reported it to the police who actually came to my job. It is not illegal to pass a bus with yellow lights, so nothing came of it. The next day, Friday, she drove at 10 mph with the red lights and stop sign out the entire stretch, causing the other lane’s traffic to stop as she coasted by. Why? Because that little bit of control and power made her feel powerful and important. And I was disrespecting her authority and control by not obediently sitting behind her. That’s why we should ALWAYS minimize or eliminate power as much as possible.

I’ve lived in South Florida, my whole life. Drawbridges everywhere. I remember one year I went down to Deerfield beach to watch fireworks with my girlfriend. Most of the people parked on the other side of the intercoastal, and walked across the bridge to the beach to watch the show. When it was over, everybody was streaming back across the bridge. A continuous line much like our southern border at the moment. But I digress. A boat had been waiting for the bridge, tender to raise the bridge. The bridge tender could not get everybody to stop walking across the bridge, so he decided to start raising it with hundreds of people on it. It was amazing that nobody got seriously hurt or killed. There were lots of children and mothers pushing strollers. Another time, I was in my 23 foot sailboat at night. Another boat had radio the bridge for an opening before me. I was a couple of hundred yards behind this boat, and I was going to follow him as the bridge was open. A very common thing. Right as I started to go under the bridge, he starts to lower it. My mast was probably 40 or 50 feet above the water. There was no way I was going to make it all the way through. The bridge would have calm down on my mast, and that would have punctured a hole in the bottom of my boat, and sank it on the spot. Luckily for me, my boat was only 23 feet long and I had an outboard motor on the very back of the boat. Because of this, I was able to spin my boat on its axis, so I did a quick turnaround, and was able to get out from under the bridge.

This year, my new freshmen get a level of unholy joy in deliberately using products that they KNOW can send me to the ER. It's funny to them. When I speak about it to the class as a whole, they find it hilarious. Even some of the best kids think it's funny. I tell them that to find it humorous that someone else does something to harm an individual is deeply depraved.

Children, the disabled, and elderly people are more vulnerable and deserve to be protected just as much as anyone else. I'm guessing you're a young teen then. Hopefully as you age, you'll gain some empathy and wisdom as you see your grandparents, parents and other elderly relatives go through old age and pass away.

Probably not too many, there would be a dead body that can’t really be ignored.. maybe if its a homeless person, with no family or friends to file a missing person report & the body fell in the water and quickly sank and never resurfaced… but these draw bridges are usually in fairly high traffic boating areas, typically span over waterways less an mile wide, usually surrounded by a dense population of waterfront properties, parks, cameras & people… & dead bodies typically become bloated after sometime and float to eventually become found.

Or sometimes we'd be on a narrow bridge that was starting to slant down to a 50-ft drop down to the water, and we would stop and there would be cars behind us blowing the horn for us to go.

The bridge would be disabled and unable to open until each pedestrian exit code has been entered. Or perhaps just infrared devices every couple feet which will disable the bridge from openeing and will activate a red light in the bridge tower. If the operator attempts to raise the bridge and one of the infrareds detects a pedestrian or vehicle on the the bridge, the operator immediately is replaced and dismissed, possibly charged for attempted murder.

No disrespect but you guys don't have high requirements for certain jobs within the USA. $10 an hour for a drawbridge operator? Then people wonder why accidents like this happen? Here in Canada, I do believe, you have to be a federal employee of Parks Canada to work a job like that. How about raising the bar a little bit.

[@ArianaRosalia]

I agree. That's how Trump became president here, because it requires no experience, education, etc. You only have to be born in the US, have lived here for at least 14 years, and be 35 or older.

​@ArianaRosalia Found him. I found the obsessed dude who's life revolves around 45.

[@ArianaRosalia]

@@devonalomar9012 Did he delete his comment? And why are you telling me that? 🤔 If you meant the topic poster, he didn't say anything about Trump. You're either confused or trying to be funny.

[@devonalomar9012]

@@ArianaRosalia Dude. Do you not recognize your own obsession? Everything has to relate to 45, even when it doesn't.

[@ArianaRosalia]

@@devonalomar9012 You were talking about me? Well, I'm not a "him". How would you come to the conclusion to insult someone in such a way? 😆 Most normal people online take the information available to them to refer to the person as him or her, or them if unsure. I don't know many guys named Ariana or Rosalía.

Maybe coordinating your lies to the police via text message isn't the best idea.

Should be emergency stop buttons along the bridge, so if its lifting u can alert the tender or stop the bridge when ur on that part of the bridge

That is a great idea. It could at least be a fairly inexpensive alert system that could potentially save lives (and therefore save the city/County money as well in the long term). These alert systems exist in other places so why not?

[@whatdidijustsee9338]

@@Flamsterette 🤣 OK then

[@Gamebuster]

@@YTStoleMyUsername That's an absolutely horrible idea. People would just fiddle with the buttons as they walk along the bridge. You would then have multiple buttons in the emergency position until someone physically went over to each button, and rotated it to allow it to depress and no longer be in the emergency position.

When a sentence involves "community service", I have to wonder exactly what service the person might perform which would be more useful than no service at all.

[@Neilsowards]

Street sweeping maybe?

[@workdevice7808]

There's loads of operators on the Intracoastal like this. First bridge south of Charleston had an operator that would start to close the bridge as the line of boats were going through, timing it to barely miss the masts of the last sailboats in the line. I was glad when I stopped having to go that route ever again. She also had a cocky, aggresive attitude towards anyone flagging up the danger.

My high school guy friends got hired to run the drawbridge. Problem is they got drunk on weekend nights and weren’t good at their job.
