A private citizen flew that DJI and captured remarkable video ... which he subsequently licensed to the "Burgh's MSM TV stations. You can find it here on YT.
So what happens with the people who lost their vehicles down there as well as another PAT BUS..was anyone hurt? Prayers for them..this is traumatic. Another PAT bus down because Pittsburgh roads nothing but pot holes and orange cones all year round.
After just one week of a snow storm two weekends ago theres crater sized pot holes all over main roads in the city. Liberty Avenue the right lane near the Strip District going towards downtown is ridiculous. I can't even drive in that lane or my tire will surely pop. They filled a bunch of pot holes with just gravel over the summer or cold patching. This video looks far worse than the news video when the Mayor spoke. I pray no one was hurt either. I can't imagine the trauma all of those people are going through. That would make me never want to drive or take a bus again. All those people should be getting money for being put through that. The last time the bridge was inspected it barely passed inspection. I pray this doesn't happen anywhere else in the city. They don't fix areas that need it on roads. Especially if that bridge is a main bus route...
Well, McGann and Chester are going to get to play go fish, and when they reappear on the surface, they’ll be likely towed off to service. Automotive insurance would eat it, and then go after the city. 3309 is a 2013, so depending on rear end damage, would likely be buffed out at East Liberty. Given the 2011’s (3200 series) are still on the road, it’s not likely to be a write off.
G'day, Pro. Tip... It was not the weight of the Snow, which broke the Bridge. My guess is that Salting the Roads for the sake of convenient Snow-Melting every winter since the Bridge was built..., has accelerated the inevitable corrosion of the Steel Reinforcement Mesh and Bars and Cables within the Concrete Slabs...; leading to a phenomenon known as "Concrete Cancer" which to some degree afflicts all Concrete Structures built within 50 miles of the Surfline..., here in Oz (where no Roads are ever "Salted"...; because the State PoLice are empowered to require Snow Chains to be fitted in order to drive on Public Roads, as required locally, while the Snow is causing problems. Cultural Differences. Salt rusts Vehicles fast, too ; and AmeriKa LOVES selling New Vehicles. Now they need a lot of New Bridges, YESTERDAY, all across and up and down the whole Country. Have fun with that. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
I remember you saying something like this last year about another PA bridge. Do you remember that? Great information about "Concrete Cancer". Yes rock salt is very abrasive on driveways, etc. I try to put some water on it after it's been out for a few days. Sometimes even snow, I guess will melt it all. Spraying it with fast spraying water at an automatic car wash really gets it off.
@@sugarfalls1 G'day, Thanks. I live 130 miles inland, at 3,650 ft above Sea Level, and locals here won't ever buy a second hand car which has previously lived at the Coast - because the Salt-Spray in the Air means that unless they've been washed with fresh water a couple of times a week then they turn into Rust Buckets within 5 or 10 years. Cultural Differences, I guess. Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
I wouldn't call that a "cultural difference". That's a legal difference. Australia has a lot of laws that have a negative impact on its citizens. However, we're only talking about salt so I won't go down that road. Every country has laws that are appropriate and ones that need a bit of a tweak. I'm not talking about re-writing the constitution.
Ummm... "Bridge listed in poor condition since 2011". How is this PRESIDENT Biden's fault. Get "your guys" to support the infrastructure bill we so desperately need. Stop playing politics with peoples' lives.
That's for all cities run by the left. All over the place. There is no voter suppression. We need voter laws that protect votes. We vote Nov. 8, 2022. Be there or be nowhere!! And we have the primaries in the summertime. Every vote counts!
The $4.2 billion dollars in PA gas taxes earmarked for bridge repair that were stolen by the grey costume wearing parasties of the PA state police surely had nothing to do with it.
Will Pittsburgh shouldn't have a problem getting this bridge rebuilt president and Democrat ministration just passed that infrastructure Bill a while back for trillion that's what it's for Bridges and Roads hell they can even call the Brandon Bridge
I live there. the mayor hasn't done anything for years, despite saying he always going to make the roads better. Same thing happened at the g20 summit when they ripped out all the trees on the Mt. Washington hillside just to get a better view of the city. The whole hillside fell down. Thanks to that democrat mayor.
This isn't about America having poor infrastucture. This is about local state and federal government not maintaining the infrastucture we do have and doing wasteful things with the tax payers money. I wouldn't support any infrastucture bill. The bill will just be used to get more tax money out of the American public while the politicians will carry on same as usual wasting our money and giving it to their special interest.
@@jamesbehrje4279 - idiots will still vote Democrat and give trillions of dollars to nonsense climate change initiatives while our existing infrastructure corrodes away.

Sadly, I'm excited for your explainer video on what happened. Y'all make the best videos.
This is beyond unsettling…
Thank you for sharing this valuable video.
No audio?
Is there supposed to be sound?
No sound on this video?
I don't get any sound.
Me either
The support beams gave up they were trying to be smart about it
This happened because the governor shifted road infrastructure findings to pay for the Pennsylvania State Police when it was low on funding.
Is that guy using a DJI? Isn't that a no go?
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the drone being used and left a comment about it before seeing yours
Maybe a B737 MAX instead.
A private citizen flew that DJI and captured remarkable video ... which he subsequently licensed to the "Burgh's MSM TV stations. You can find it here on YT.
the worst 4 minutes and 24 seconds of TOTAL SILENCE... should have made it in black and white at 60fps ... would have been more realistic
Was that duct tape on the bus?
That is a telescoping connector that lets a double bus turn and maneuver. Kinda like an accordion looking hinge.
All masked up, outside..Really smart people we got here.

No fatalities, but four out of the ten people involved went to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. This could have been so much worse.

How clever and so full of thought.
Look at the political history of mayors in this area and you will discover why the bridge collapsed.

This was the comment I was looking for..
Gave ithe money to the State Police.
Political hacks??? Found it interesting that every one of these inspectors has a brandnew vest on. What's up with that????
they work for the Government. New vest every week! Got to spend that tax money somehow, sure as f--- isn't going into new bridges.
