Russian authorities close wobbly bridge

[genaroh3]

I'd be shitting bricks if a bridge wobbled while I was on it. Lol

[funnguns]

want a good advice on walking through that? hold your hands together... and pray.

[SPInstrumentals]

0:15, not a single fuck was given that day

[chandlamohit]

fake 

[PhyOSPhyOS]

@chandlamohit It's not "fake", Mr. 10-year-old-kid, it's real physical phenomena. Aerolastic flutter.

[BajKification]

Reminds me of the Star Trek Voyager episode Twisted :D

[GordyFTP]

THEY ARE MADE THAT WAY BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO DESIGNED IT WAS FULL OF VODY SO IS THE REST OF RUSSIA SO THEY CAN WALK STRAIGHT. STUPID RUSSIANS

[MrJeade97]

HOW KURWA?

[TheImNotJack]

LOWL guy walking on the laft hand side just came back from the shops ahah he rebble XD

[L0UDM0UTH]

WTF....How?



[rezz110]

@L0UDM0UTH

This happens when the frequency content of force (in this case wind) resonates with the natural frequency of the bridge in a particular direction and in particular mode of vibration. When resonance occurs, vibration (dynamic motion) on structure amplifies significantly particularly if damping is low. Resonance has a effective range within which response to dynamic force is amplified; nevertheless, maximum amplification is at absolute resonance. Source: I'm a structural engineer!

[seneson]

@inabiffy is it to do with the frequency of the bridge being wrong or was it a earthquake or strong wind or something?

[Rakonas]

Needs more guile theme

[kassio2006]

no response, resonance...sorry

[kassio2006]

Bridge will withstand this shaking. Very durable. Not found any cracks after that. But engineers have to figure out how to extinguish the response to such a construction. Bridge span between the piles of 135 meters.

[ediblebatteries]

Dampen that resonance, someone plz!  BTW USA had a bridge that did this (Galloping Gertie) and collapsed epically. look it up on youtube!

[TVNerd126]

resonance

[AfroKemp]

How in the world does the concrete bend like that?

[Freeeez3]

WTF :D

[BobbyRify]

Almost like Gallopin -Gertie --Tacoma

[RBear20]

wow....it must be REALLY badly built if tarmac can bend like that...

[pinewood189]

govt. engineers

[brzleiroe10]

lol in soviet russia.............

[tz138]

Oops! Looks like steel box girders, without the proper stiffening members inside. Wind eddies, and perhaps a crossing vehicle likely set off the oscillations. The piers are likely not moving. Certainly, the concrete road deck is shattered. Would be an interesting ride though! Try out the Mackinac bridge in the wind... quite a ride!

[seneson]

It looks too fake to be real :L

[KatKaleen]

Wow, that's surreal. You wouldn't even believe concrete can move like that. Kinda scary.

[rudypoodoo]

How can the bridge sway due to wind if it's not a suspension bridge/cable stayed bridge? This would be a true mystery of bridge building!

[Chris2692ful]

It's not fake retards

[stephl349]

What an engineering disgrace.

[1ChibiNinja1]

wobbling Pillars in Silver and Gold. No arguments.

[jan585]

if i was sure that it wouldn't fall down, i would love to drive over it :P

[AwesomeAndXtreme]

It looks like you just added in an effect...but I know its real, the only I dont know is how does this happen?

[fennoman12]

@AwesomeAndXtreme it's becouse of the vibration of the cables, they are set off by the wind, and the vibration is the same 'frecuency' as the concread/steel so that'll move too!

(hope this was usefull...)

[jan585]

@fennoman12 I think because of the wind going unther the bridge, no? because i can't see any cables on the right side..

[clubsfun]

Fake

[ig33ve]

the wonders of science. the wind is causing the bridge to resonate.

[peltsi40]

Russia + Engineers + Working Methods = Priceless

[Nordjyden9000]

@peltsi40

Heard about I-35W Mississippi River bridge that collapsed 2007? Galloping Gertie in Tacoma? Russian engineers and working methods beat you in the space race remember? Ukrainian engineers built the larges plane ever. Why can't you just accept that the US is not automatically the best?

[peltsi40]

@Nordjyden9000 dude, wtf, i'm from Finland and i also think that US is not the best country at all :D

Nordic countries FTW! :D

[obiii]

To all of you saying this is fake, seach "Tacoma bridge".

It also happened in the US. Only that time, it collapsed.

[only4u4everlove]

no earthquake problems :D

[babochureum]

fake n gay

[trentmobill2]

@babochureum its not fake it was on tv today on abc news

[FutureStudy]

@babochureum its not fake fuckface

[killerwhale333]

Man this is wobbly like Americas economy

[adict7]

this is really real, experts have an explanation to it. don't say it's fake just because it's unbelievable you morons.

[phriedfish]

does nobody americas mess with galloping girrdy. cant remember where it was but I have seen the footage a long time ago, the exact same thing except we wernt smart enough to close it before a few folks lost thier lives

[exoshime]

..' is the bridge mae of stone?

[kcuhC27]

Amazing video, and I don't doubt it is real, but if that's concrete, why does it not crumble?

[drmawad84]

subhanallah

[nf3737]

This is real, it's in the news, and guys you can search the video in Russian. Just type in the river's name: Волга, and you will see several different videos that were taken by random people. This was crazy, and I guess it relates to the existence of Aliens that Obama government is going to disclose this year. I can't really think of any other good explanation for this crazy thing. It's insane!

[magestik6973]

i love how someone is walking across it wtf are you thinking

[Emidretrauqe]

@magestik6973 What do you mean "wtf are you thinking" I'll tell you exactly what he's thinking, he's thinking "holy shit this is awesome. I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life! Totally worth it."

And you know what? He's right.

[Ajax6001]

lol at the guy that's still walking across it :P 0:16

[gangsterlad86]

love how the calm the guy walking the bridge is

[sKyLif3]

looks like its made of rubber!

[onishchuk4]

Galloping Gerdie all over again!!!

[timg810]

@onishchuk4 haha exactly...

[jimjim]

It's the Soviet way of teaching about the sine wave.

[talon420z]

This is real and it did happen. It's on news outlets all over the world.

[RuflessRecords]

Capitalist saboteurs made it wobble

[quevinen]

Fake and Gay!

I can do that wobble effect in my MPEG editor...

If the bridge was really moving why the guy at 0:16 is walking with a bag in his hand like if it was nothing going on?

[RuflessRecords]

@quevinen homosexual and ungenuine!!!

[jackbackjack9]

@quevinen ok if you say you can do it... then why don't you show us how clever you are.

[s4er]

@quevinen I'm from Russia, and can tell you it's not a fake. But it really looks unbelievable. -)

[darkspane112]

@quevinen your a dik, this is real you douch bag. stop trying to sound smart by blabing about your mpeg editor shit when you cant even tell its real.

[quevinen]

@darkspane112 what kind of language is that Darkspane112 it seems that diks are always in your tongue... behave yourself and wash that dirty mouth of yours that is full of diks...

[Lollymiss1]

lmao at the dude crossing it..

[genevaswitzerland]

havent we seen this somewhere before?

[alpharaptor1]

in soviet russia, you support bridge.

[geode50]

look up tacoma bridge collapse if you think this one is fake

[Choo69]

where are the soviet russia jokes?

[rockerdudeman]

@Choo69 In soviet Russia, the jokes are on you.

[Inkytoby]

VOLGOGRAD, RUSSIA (NBC) -- Russian authorities have closed a bridge over the Volga River because it started to wobble.

The bridge was still closed Friday, after it started to wobble Thursday evening.

A strong river current caused by melting snow upstream apparently loosened one of the bridge's vertical supports.... See More

Authorities said they are debating on a course of action. The bridge has only been opened since October 2009. It cost more than $80 million to build.

[k238studios]

How stupid can you be, calling this fake! It's not a UFO! Never heard of "Gallopin' Gertie"? OK, it happened a long time ago, that must be it!

[Hybreath66]

So fake... hauhauauh .. yeah it happend, but not like that! !!

[codygreaver92]

this happend to the golden gate bridge when it was 1st built i believe.

[meliketoo]

i'M SERIOUS THIS LOOKS FAKE.

[OriolesBiggestFan]

hows the blacktop not breaking

[girlslikeboys112]

Lol! That looks pretty fake. But if it's not, i bet it would be fun to drive on there.

[littlebig360]

great engineering! it did not collapse, but reacts to the river current

[rosahlyn]

Its real! Water is buffering the stantions and making it shake but why weren't models rigorously tested before such a big bridge was built? Lol at the guy walking along. Suppose it's a long way around

[isthename]

Woo!!

[jonjon181]

didnt the mythbusters confirm this?

[eddieuh999]

looks like a fake

[elmalacopa]

ONLY IN RUSSIA

[00samarkand00]

looks surreal.

[mastouris69]

if a Car drives over this Bridge,it must be a B.M.Wobbly-you

[telu1177]

Just like a TACOMA.

[m0livi]

who the fuck walks there !!!

[papaluchas]

Why is there a person trying to cross it! haha retard

[zcheeseolly]

That looks like a tonne of fun!!!

[573W1E6R1FF1N]

Not fake or gay. Its Harmonic Vibration

[FulguraDenebola]

@573W1E6R1FF1N

yes, it's "fluttering", for the specific ;)

[AlexakoS1994]

thats impossible!if someone has an explanation about this please tell me...

[tasparakis]

after the haunted hauses...the haunted bridges!

[fgrtcnjkhjkghjvbnv]

how the hell can that work

[jimarasssss]

For those who say its fake, please take a look at 'Takoma Narrows Bridge' on google

you will find all the answers you need

[zogg18]

@jimarasssss You can see the wind breakers on the side it's not the wind thats causing the waves. It's due to the river causing the support columns to vibrate.

[linkinpark4175]

You realise how bridges work?

[stamatinho]

Fake!

[TopGearrules]

@stamatinho your face is fake!

[SeriousV8]

@stamatinho dumb idiot...my gran lives in a village near there, she saw it herself....

[EllinasAntartis]

lol

[warlordei]

fake and gay

[SeriousV8]

@warlordei stupid dickhead

[warlordei]

@SeriousV8 serious and boring :-P

[nyyanks937]

this isnt fake i saw it on the news. and how does calling it gay even make sense??

[anubis21rgr]

i think this video is fake...

[Vleesball]

omg i need to skate there !
