« on: October 01, 2006, 11:39:06 AM »
A highway overpass collapsed in Quebec yesterday, several cars crushed underneath and several went down with the bridge, including a motorcyclist (only reason I posted this).

That video clip reminds me of the damage done by the Loma Preata earthquake here in Nor Cal a few years back.  Just something that kind of defies logic in the mind. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

They will find the cause is (SALT) for the lack of a better term of ice melt and the hidden damage it does to the rebar over time.

Sad, but yet another example of "when your number's up, its over".  You can't hide under your bed all your life. [smiley=sad3.gif]
