Another Angry Woman (stavvers@masto.ai)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jul-2024 09:59:15 JST Another Angry Woman

just discovered this incredibly soothing youtube channel that shows videos of US trucks getting can-openered by a low bridge despite multiple safety warnings https://m.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8

  The 11foo8 bridge is a railroad trestle over Gregson St in Durham, North Carolina and it has earned a reputation for for its rigorous enforcement of the laws of physics. No truck taller than 11 feet and 8 inches will pass under this stubborn piece of infrastructure. Period. On this channel we document the various attempts of hapless drivers trying to get past this bridge. Some try to be sneaky, some try to be quick, some try to argue, but the bridge always wins. There is a reason why the locals call it the "canopener!" So if you're driving a truck, please let these videos be a warning not to argue with low bridges. They have the law (of physics) on their side. Just heed the warnings and drive a different route. Be safe, y'all.

  @stavvers I guess in Europe you'd have pieces of metal hanging a bit loose prior to the bridge to serve as a simple auditory warning but I've also seen some trucks continue past those (and so get can-opened at best).
