At least one worker appeared to be stuck on top of a drawbridge fixed in the air above a waterway in Pompano Beach, Florida on Wednesday morning. Rescue crews are working to bring the stranded worker down. (March 10)
@joewallace2 The bridge is operated not by counterweights but by hydraulic pistons. 2 on each side of the bridge, 4 pistons per lift span, 8 in all. The problem was when the bridge operator had pressed the down button, the pistons had not lost any hydraulic pressure, keeping the bridge in the upright position .
