Watch This Bridge Collapse with a Single Touch by an Excavator - Neatorama

A skilled excavator driver has the hands of a surgeon and the soul of a classical pianist. S/he can do amazing things, like pushing a stalled truck or lighting a cigarette. This video allegedly shows one destroying a bridge in Guangxi Province, China. All it takes is one touch in the right spot.

Yes, it's possible that there was some preliminary work done by demolitions experts. But I wouldn't rule out the excavator driver.

You can see explosions go off on each pier just before that pier collapses.

Yeah, this is not the kung-fu touch of death we're talking about. If that bridge, unprepared, could be collapsed by a single touch then I'm glad I never drove over it.

Or it's a demonstration of what "made in China" means in China.

Amazing what can be done when there is not only no government regulation, but government encouragement...

Let's see if it ever gets used and if so, how soon it falls back down...

Been there... seen it happen...

I already went through that argument at mental_floss. The British spelling is storey. The American spelling is story.

At the haters who think that this building is going to fall down or crumble. If you watched the video carefully it said that the building is engineered to withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes. Get over yourselves and consider the innovation.

If a building falls in a ghost city, does it make a sound?

If you slow down the video you can see a person falling from the building every few days. I wonder how many fatalities happened during the build.

In all seriousness the building was not built in 15 days. It was put together in 15 days. All the parts were build off site. It is just like prefab homes which can be put up in a day or two.

@Miss Cellania -- I've experienced this argument, too.

Dubai rushed all their buldings as well and that is why they can spend a billion dollars on a buildings and the roof leaks.
