Love the cracks and holes in the concrete, I wonder how rusty the
steel in under there.

Thank You,
Randy

On the bright side, as long as you don't congregate the live load is
small compared to the dead load.

OHHH! oh my god that's too funny/scary! incredible video. thanks.

b.w.

(nice scenery though huh?!)
(my balls were tingling when he came upon those big holes)
(those mountain climber guys are nucking futs huh? the one guy climbing
BENEATH the concrete, oy!)
(just imagine the guys who BUILT it! oy! looks like light gauge railroad
rails. just carrying them would be enough let along laying them down on the
original open framework. oy.)
(there was a road "culvert"/bridge near here on a state road. years ago i
went under it to see what it looked like and was kinda shocked to see in the
1800's they used recycled light gauge railroad rails. it had to be at least
a 20' span. they just laid a bunch of railroad rails across the span, put
flat slabs of slate over it and then over the years successive layers of
asphalt paving. i couldn't believe there were heavy trucks driving over
that RUSTY old thing daily. they replaced it a few years ago.)

I was going to reach for the Dramamine.

Did anyone notice if there was *any* kind of reinforcement in that concrete,
something that would handle the tensile loads between the steel beams?
Whatever it was, with all the holes in the concrete, it wasn't spaced
closely enough to do anything. It looked like the concrete's tensile
strength (which approaches zero) was all that stood between someone walking
over it and disaster.

AND ... the cameraman was filming and walking at the same time!
Sometimes the camera was just on and not being operated, but other times
it clearly was being operated. Had I been there every cell of me would
have been concentrated on that walk and on my next step.

I think I would be straddling the iron with my feet, at least until I woke
up out of this bad dream.

Yup. I'd be damned sure to keep my feet off that concrete.

The couple is speaking German, but the climbers I think could be
hispanic. My guess is that this is either in Mexico, or Central or
South America. That is just a guess...I don't know for sure.

I emailed the link to the local radio show mornings guys, both are big
guys, maybe 700 pounds between the two of them.

Hey Randy,

Believe it or not, I've been there. I think that is The King's Walk
in Spain.

If that is it, it's as scary as it looks.


Thanks,

Keith
