An enginerd speculates on the FIU bridge collapse

[jberryhill]

I completely realize that actual failure investigation and analysis to pin down exact failure sequences is not something that is done in a weekend. As an avid reader of NTSB reports on stuff that happened years ago, those things are awesome.

This, however, is an internet discussion forum, and not a thumb-twiddling emporium, so here we are.

I found this video interesting. If you are familiar with the background, you might skip to closer to the end.

I figured this discussion needed a YouTube video with red circles on pictures. That's how you can always tell the good ones.

1. Yeah, that's AvE

Been watching his channel for a while. Usually pretty skookum information.

Keep yer dick in a vise.

2. Unless the vise is made out of chinesium!

6. "chinesium"

I just learned something new and important. There's language for everything!

I suspected a metal failure immediate, but we'll see.

3. "If you can't handle an F-bomb...go fuck your hat."

Those are my new words.

4. Enginerd

LOL, I thought you had misspelled this until I watched the video.

[BootinUp]

5. Pretty good analysis. nt

[rusty fender]

7. Very plausible

Some people may be criminally charged over this

8. Thanks

Very interesting

9. I'm amazed he doesn't realize how much profanity detracts from message

It was difficult to take him seriously given the unnecessary language. He mentions similar complaints early in the video, but keeps going on the same lines.

Sorry, as a handicapper I have to dismiss someone like this. I stopped watching. My long held belief is that people who default to profanity as a crutch are lesser caliber overall.

There will be someone else who will provide a far superior analysis and presentation very soon.
