Damn you Newton.

I blame Bush.
/just wanted to get that outta the way

On Fark, of course, we try to compensate with levity.

no its just because pennsylvania drivers are the worst drivers ever and the concentration of them sucking so much sucked the bridge into oblivion.

And the driver was heard shouting "My Fair Lady!"

Gravity is the tinfoil hat atheists wear to keep God out of their brainwaves.

And this is International news in the UK why, exactly?

/Jersey drivers suck worse than PA drivers.

Any bridge that falls down, cause a heavy truck drove on it, needs to fall down and be replaced with something that will take Oprahs fat times weight.

/Where is that slimming camera?

Dwight_Yeast: And this is International news in the UK why, exactly?

/Jersey drivers suck worse than PA drivers.

No you gotta slide delawhere in there first. I'm not saying Jersey drivers are great. They squeeze in to places they shouldn't and they tailgate, but only because they're used to PA drivers driving slow in the left lanes.

wheres the OM NOM NOM bridge pics?

maybe if they start building them with the heavy side near the water it wouldn't be that bad when they collapse ?

You asked for it, you got it.

Stumbled across a picture of it.

Not how I pictured 116-year-old bridges.

Wow. Of all the reasons for Dysart to be on Fark, "bridge collapse" never made my list.

And the driver was heard shouting "My Fair Lady!"

Clap. Golf.

The Grinch: You asked for it, you got it.

AHAHAHA!

Maybe it just collapsed on its own

El Chode: no its just because pennsylvania drivers are the worst drivers ever and the concentration of them sucking so much sucked the bridge into oblivion.

I'm a Pennsylvanian driving on a bridge in PA right now so I'm getting a kick....

funny, I though Jersey drivers were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked out there.

In the end, if we continue to allow bridges to collapse, the terrorists win.

I am a worn out Bridge and am enjoying your replies.
/got nuthin

One too many ham sandwiches for the truck driver.

I have about 4 of them within a 2 mile radius of me. Popular round these parts for some reason.

Steel combined with PA winters and lots of salt use = not win.

GreatNOD: Stumbled across a picture of it.

Good find. There are some after pictures in the Johnstown paper. It seems to be in one piece. Can't really see where it failed.

PA and Upstate NY have a lot of those kinda Bridges. So does WV. There must have been some factory that made them up that way back in the day.

look, i'm in delaware. the local delawarians, their main fault is that the light turns green and they just sit there. it usually doesn't matter because the the minivan from pa is going slow as it is. but when there's a jersey driver tailgating me, i just pull over, let them pass, and use them as my shield. it works quite well.

I think it was some kind of stunt

Hey thats funny... we all think that Del. drivers are the slowest flapdoodles on pa roads....

maybe you just notice out of state license plates more...

/its always someone else

Typing and driving. Yep, the defense rests.

/not the worst...Virginians are the WORST.

T-Luv

We can't take that chance

So a small, seldom used bridge with no one on it fell down. Well deserving of a news story.

"In other news, the corpse of a pigeon was found in the park today. It is unknown of the death was the result of fowl play"

Uh, yeah, ever hear of Carnegie? The steel trust? They owned the entire industry. That construction style was universal for 50 years. Basic, modular truss and beam construction, goes together with only a few men and fits every need just about. Could be packaged and shipped by rail and horse cart. The golden Gate Bridge was almost built this way. The entire country has bridges just like this. Nobody who had any hand in the design or manufacture of these ever envisioned them being loaded with more than a few tons at the most.

Hell, the bridge lasted this long.

Total bridge existence failure?

Gravity is a bunch of atheist, left wing rhetoric.

Gravity is only a theory
therefore, God must have hated someone on that bridge

Ay, the amish know better than to go around blaming a fall like that due to some invisible force. The problem is that you've abandoned the horse and buggy, which na caused a bridge collapse.

edenza: Wow. Of all the reasons for Dysart to be on Fark, "bridge collapse" never made my list.

I've seen that bridge. Weird.

/been to Cresson
//been to Coupon
///even been to Tunnel Hill

So is it Pres. Bush's fault because...

A. he eliminated salt truck weight limit inspections at all bridges and sent truck inspectors to Iraq to inspect snow removal trucks at bridges there?

B. he sent US military to Iraq instead of letting them do their usual job of spreading salt on roads with salt shakers?

C. Iraq, Iraq, Iraq, Iraq, Iraq

Remember that people say Evolution is only a theory, so it is not true? Well, Gravity is only a theory so it is not true. If the Theory of Gravity is not true, then this 40-tonne Monty Python weight that is about to be released over me will not completely flatten me! Take that, Atheists Darwinists!

AUGGH! SPLAT!!!

Crushed completely flat by the 40-tonne Monty Python weight
