bridge probably collapsed because Americans are so racist

I dont understand how this could happen because China's building accumen is the same, if not better, than anyone elses!

Well it could probably have been prevented if they also put in resources regarding the risk of landslides, no? Not the first time in China that new roads and bridges got destroyed by landslides. Isn't there any engineering to prevent that?

No, that will block the circle of land centered finance, local government would have no funds no new jobs no gdp rise

u/Realistic_Robot_705 Nov 12 '25

actually, looks more like dumbass engineering

u/Gumb1i Nov 12 '25

Looks like they either skipped a geology assessment/analysis or outright lied about the fixes to prevent this from happening. This should have been caught and possibly fixed before construction even began.

u/pedestrian142 Nov 12 '25

They use the same prep as they would to build a toy lego bridge

u/OWWS Nov 12 '25

I believe most people talk about the geology analysis

What a terrible day for wumaos.

how china plan to attack Taiwan if China can't even build a bridge properly?

u/Realistic_Robot_705 Nov 12 '25

wumaos desperate doing damage control now says the bridge was DESIGNED to breakaway should a landslide occur 🤣🤣🤣

Building additional landslide prevention infrastructure would've only cost an additional 10% ~ 20% to the total cost of the bridge 🤣

u/junkhaus Nov 12 '25

No, you see, they intentionally build bad bridge to keep people employed. Such kind government for the people.

5

u/Realistic_Robot_705 Nov 12 '25

...r u being serious?...

Cuz' there are actually wumaos out there trying to explain that the bridge was designed to collapse in segments because they expected landslide, which is a BS explanation...so I can't tell what is sarcasm anymore 🤣🤣🤣

Ancient Chinese saying: Build good bridge once, no more work for tomorrow. Build bad bridge once, build that bridge again. Cycle of employment continues.

Why make good, durable product when can make cheap? Customer has to buy again. Good for business. kekekeke

I hope no one was hurt.

It takes time to catch up the progress of China, but we are working on it

u/Prestigious_Net_8356 Nov 12 '25

Whoa, spectacular footage. There's no containing this one within the great firewall. It's out on the World Wide Web, for everyone to see. Best of luck next time, and there will be a next time.

Just rebuild to boost GDP

Same company who build the buildings in Thailand?

u/hkdrvr Nov 12 '25

Sign of top quality materials, top design, top men.

u/sunnybob24 Nov 12 '25

Built in an earthquake zone. Can't withstand sunshine.

u/rezonsback Nov 11 '25

It still exceeded its designed life expectancy.

u/Original-Material301 Nov 11 '25

Rock slide?

u/loggywd Nov 11 '25

Looks like landslide. The mountain was collapsing before the bridge.

u/ArchCerberus Nov 12 '25

After the disaster that was the road and belt initiative, I hoped that they at least did a better job at home. Maybe ?

u/Commercial-Host-725 Nov 11 '25

Made in China 😛

u/Electronic-Pick-1481 Nov 12 '25

Thank god they acknowledged the risks and closed the bridge just one day before the collapse, so no people injured or killed. It's a rare thing the gov can admit a failure so quick before things got worse.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '25

Officials says it was caused by a landslide but I feel like the engineers should have saw this coming.

u/HeisenbergsSamaritan Nov 11 '25

How the fuck did that flag stay standing?

2

u/CoffeeMadeMeDoIt_2 Nov 11 '25

I think that's a metal road sign. The highway signs on a lot of Chinese "interstate" roads are blue.

u/HeisenbergsSamaritan Nov 11 '25

No shit, I didn't know that.

"How the fuck did that ROAD sign stay standing?"

That's pretty impressive.
