1. Oh, that’s a shame. 😀

   I’ll bet right this very minute there are hundreds of workers climbing all over the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou province (which is prone to earthquakes). It’s their crown jewel of new bridges. It would be a shame if something would happen to it.

2. Because its made in….CHI ..NA

   1. Trump pronunciation: ChyyyyyNahhhh as in ChyyyyyNahhhh virus

3. You might want to check the soil engineering report on the North anchorage …
   OTOH … the Dear Leader said; “get that bridge built, or you and your entire family will be disappeared”

   1. This was my first thought. Looks like it started above the north side.

4. Chowmadillo…Chinese Godzilla, maybe?

   1. … or just an armadillo raised for food?

5. So their bridges last about as long as their power tools.

   1. Are you kidding? This bridge lasted 8 months.

      1. So … about 7 times longer than their power tools. And might I add … their knock off power tool rechargeable batteries.

6. It is what happens when cheap Chinese knockoff materials are used.

7. In the words of that wise Chinese sage, Stevie Nicks…… the landslide bring it down
   Or is it ransride?…I dunno.
   Tell you what’s impressive is the cantilever that’s hanging on like grim death. And that folks is why we have rebar.

8. Chowmadillo in Mandarin means “hoe-ree shit joe”, loosely translated of course.

   I was there in 1986 shortly after a school had collapsed killing 400 children. When rebuilding they made every worker carve his name into a block that was later set as a corner stone. The idea was to instill a sense of responsibility with a side order of threat. I wonder who signed this bridge?

   1. Structural engineers Sum Ting Wong and Ho Lee Fuk, probably. If they finished that Asiana Airlines crash report.

10. Here’s another from Aug 22.

    Comrade Xi, there seems to be something wrong with your bridges.

11. Looks like a landslide on that end started first. It wasn’t that the bridge was bad, it’s just not built on solid ground.

    1. Oh, is that all?

       1. This confirms it originated with soil movement.
          So now you don’t have to worry quite so much about that bridge Schwarzenegger bought from the Chinese.

12. Just wait until the Three Gorges Dam gives way…..it came damned close in 2020.

13. But let’s bring those ferries over to BC waters. Can’t see anything going wrong.

14. Sichuan? Thats-A Spicy Meatballa!!

15. Look for a surplus of chinese organs in the involuntary donation market in coming weeks

16. The disappearing bridge virus originated in an engineering lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

17. We’re all this guy when Joe Biden turns up at the restaurant where he’s trying to have dinner.
