Yep, I've posted pics of this cable-stayed bridge before, but by crikey it's a marvel, and this (erroneously named) Powerpoint presentation here gives you some idea of its contruction.We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
This magnificent structure was featured on Jeremy Clarkson's car show (on Prime) 'Top Gear', last yr.
ReplyDeleteHe was raving about it .. also commented drily that the Brits would never create something of this magnitude anymore, thanks to socialist attitudes.
He's quite libertarian in his views .. routinely pokes fun at political correctness and statist crap. As do his two co-presenters, Richard Hammond & James May.
Most satisfying!
Discovery had a program about it's design & construction recently. Cant remember which program but was one of those "Megabuilder" type docos. Awesome structure
