Bridge made out of toothpicks collapses

 

First thing in the morning I'm thinking this is fake.  Who could build a bridge like this and have ships zooming under?

But it's real, and you are seeing what would happen in an earthquake.

ps.  great fantasy tale here.  Let's say there was a place that dropped all mention of physics, and just lived with stories.  They spent trillions of dollars to embellish the stories for things that were physically impossible.  The real threats, as determined by physics, were left alone.  What if there was a person who used physics to outline these threats?  They laughed him out of the room.

ps.  I have decided that for my sanity, I will assume this is an AI fake.  Can you imaging if something like this was at rush hour.  5000 dead.  So, I reject it, and will sleep at night.  No more comments.

ps. and this is funny.  Used to be they purged all the engineers.

ps.  the new ceo -- "We have to focus on the physics.  The mechanism of climate change is physically impossible, and pigs cannot fly."  He would be out in a second...

ps.  the ship issued a mayday and they could shut the bridge.  Only the pothole guys were there.
