The latest piece of China quality infrastructure to provide international audiences some much needed distraction from America quality governance is a Jiangxi ferry bridge filmed in the instant of its demise, with a flag-waving crosser seemingly too ironic a load for the bridge to bear.
The unfortunate accident resulted in 10 people being hospitalised, the bridge itself having only been completed in late September:
Although at least spared it exploding, the usual concerns about quality of construction and overloading were soon raised.

Am I supposed to find this funny? This is just an everyday occurrence for china.
Heck, I learned about bridges and what happens when you apply too much stress to them(or build them badly) in a generic technology class back in middle school... And my school wasn't even a top one.
Step up, China.
Wow...People think that was a bridge? I built something like that when I was 10. Would figure a nation could do better......Hey I have an idea....I'm available for bridge building if anyone needs one built :P
no you're not - you're not 10 anymore :P
Kids build better bridges with spaghetti.
And Boom goes the Dynamite. That wasn't in bad taste was it? D:
Quality aside that is a whole lot of people on that bridge.
YES... I saw the video and was like "WTF? Why so many people on bridge?" That shit is simple lack of common sense.
I blame the idiots.
The bridge was still shit quality. I wouldn't have stepped foot on it in the first place. It has 0 support underneath it made of not very strong material.
this or the fact thats a lot of people would prove that the bridge may have also reach its resonance? threshold
It was a new bridge, it would have collapsed after a few months moderate traffic, as opposed to one month heavy, anyway.
It doesn't matter if it is new or old. The material obviously cannot support the force of so many people. Look at the structure. It is simply like some steel of approximately a few inch thick and you expect it to support like 30 people or more at the same time with only 2 supporting point at the ends? It is very normal that it broke at the middle. The dude who designed the bridge simply didn't expect so many people on it at the same time. It doesn't take a mechanical or civil engineering degree to figure out it can't hold so many people.
Yeah, except you need them all to be stepping in time for that to happen so...pretty damn unlikely.
Even retards such as yourself can seem intelligent in 'hindsight'. A bridge is designed to hold maximum occupancy at maximum force loading from vibration and natural occurrences. If it doesn't meet those specifications, you've got a potential murder case on your hands. Whether the people realise high tech lightweight carbon fibre tubing is used, or Coco pop boxes or they'd never know. A bridge is a bridge is a bridge, it's designed for crossing. And considering how packed China is with people, overloading(to Westerners and Japanese eyes)is a daily event there.
Laugh about this, then google longest bridges in the world and laugh some more.
Most of them are at least a few years old and no reports of spectacular explosions have yet surfaced. Is that a QUALITY-fail or a quality-success?
Just wait and see couple more years, friend. I won't be too shocked if one of these long bridge will collapse near future.
I've witness so many incompetent engineering from China that I am not convinced about the sturdiness of the structure from the "middle kingdom".
"just wait and see couple more years"
a weebo defending his Chinese failtage~
Not incompetent eningeering, just corrupt policy and governance
I know one big ass wall which is still standing to this day.
I did and oh shit I'd be to scared to ever go on any of those myself... hell I'm afraid china will be worse then the middle east with IEDs meant to go off.
What did you expect from china ?
1. scammed. (like "power bank" with rock and sand inside)
2. exploding things.
3. contains dangerous substance.
4. Copied Crap
5. Disgusting people/places
The real news hasn't even happened yet. Wait until all the people who fell in the water mysteriously grow extra eyes.
... or spontaneously combust.
i was expecting the life preservers to explode on impact. foam might have proven to be too expensive to procure, so maybe the stuff them with potassium. meh, next time maybe.
I'd been thinking Sankaku's been a bit short on Chinese stuff exploding and/or collapsing these days, so good to see this here.
you guys have to realize that not everything existing in china today were made recently with the money and infrastructure they have now, I don't know anything about this bridge but the collapse could have been due to it's inefficient or outdated design for example.
"the bridge itself having only been completed in late September"
Reading comprehension is not your strong point apparently.
It still not wise to use outdated bridge design when hundred of people will travel across it every day..
Its the engineers fault, for not testing the bridge, for not estimating the number of people that will be on it and for using an old design..
Maybe the contractor's fault as well, perhaps he use some cheaper material as opposed to the what stated in the contract, and the rest of the balance, goes inside his pocket.
It has nothing to do with out-dated design. some of the oldest bridges in the world are still standing in china and their design are likely centuries-old but they don't suffer from structural failure!
I love the description: "too ironic a load for the bridge to bear"?
China = QUALITY irony
a busted and rusted iron-y,that is.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the boat ramp (no, it's not a "bridge").
The boat operator needs jailtime for letting so many people at the same time onto the ramp.
If you figure each of those people way 110lbs (49Kg)it would take about 18 of them per Ton.
Based on the visible design of that "Ramp", if it were made of Steel it should've been able to handle 3-4 tons. But my guess is that it was made of Aluminium seeing as that doesn't Rust, but it's a much weaker material, which using that design would only have been designed to support 1 ton.
And the boat operator might not be at fault there if that ramp was the Dock's property, with has become the case more often lately.
If you look at the one in the background, it's not nearly as crowded. That guy was actually doing his job.
was the bridge found to have been made with garbage too?
China can fix things. Will take about 50 years. Limit to 0 children per family.
70 years later, China will be empty. Maybe filled with undead, since there are many carcinogenic chemical they eat/drink/breath/use..
China should explode before it breeds more Chinese people.
yeah, blaim the chinese people please. you smart ass supreme beings
"with a flag-waving crosser seemingly too ironic a load for the bridge to bear."
Laughed so hard at this, bravo.
I don't agree it is China quality. It should be Modern China quality. I remember reading a news that an old bridges that was like 100+ yrs old still standing with trucks running over it while a new bridge collapsed during the first month of operation and it was built right next to the old bridge. Chinese used to build nice quality stuff that people liked to import them... well, that was of course, all before the Communist took over and the "big leap forward". US used to have fault designs back then, but it was at the time where science was not as advance and there is no CAD software to simulate different situations. Such mistake is not acceptable in today's standard even for a developing country with bunch of resources. Well, of course, I won't say this kind of stuff when I go back to China visiting my family... unless I don't wanna live.
Some day, they'll discover that the Great Wall is made of Styrofoam.
Well, there are part that have been "restored"... and those are degrading even faster.
Will it bend?.... meh, that's not even a question ^^
They must have known it would collapse ,they had all those life jackets in the water really quickly.
is it just me or ire there too many people on the bridge?
Which came first, the bridge or the 30-something jackasses on the 'quality-like' bridge
Falling off a bridge is one thing but falling on that disgusting China water?
That was probably pee from passers-by.
