Just curious... seems someone is actually holding that camera. Why are they randomly filming this (ok people randomly film everything), and why do they have no reaction? Gives this video the feel of an arsonist watching his handywork from afar.

Someone should put sensors on that bridge, so it stops when it feels RESISTANCE.


Ya, I was thinking the same thing. Then I also wondered how could it feel the difference between the pressure of a mutli ton road bridge being lowered and the relatively small pressure applied by a boat. It would be akin to even noticing stepping on an ant, by the time you felt it, it's to late.

But the bridge is the same weight all the time, so that weight is irrelevant. It's the change is resistance that you're measuring. The weight of the original object doesn't matter.

There are some very simple things that could have stopped this happening, be they mechanical or just a person paid to watch the bridge with a big stop button next to him/her.
