I took time-laps photos every 10 sec when 400 t load was passing accross Fort McKay river bridge. It is interesting to see. Play it full screen size and several times to see the deflection. Unfortunately, the quality of the YouTube is very poor when compared to the original
Largest load transported through Fort McMurray, AB
Pressure vessel 62m high and 5m in dia., 384 tones
Transported by Mammoet to CNRL on two trailers (320 wheels)
Pull by two trucks and pushed by another four tracks.

@serendipitymicmic As a matter of fact both, bridges and high sky scraper buildings are designed to withstand natural disasters like earthquakes. that is why, bridges are made flexible and high buildings are placed upon seismic isolation devices. but anyways, it's funny to watch flexible bridges being flexible, isn't it.

It went so fast: Did the load pass over the brigde or the bridge pass under the load?
