  • Kind of a sad end, really, for a century old structure. Thanks for posting the video, though.

  • There are claims of diminishing structural integrity, but I think it's just long term planing. They just wanted to build a new bridge there. That bridge was a loved, iconographic, landmark for the people of Minneapolis. And getting a closer look at it, it was sturdy as a mountain. Out with the old, in with the new (world order). PEACE.

  • nice quality, thanks for posting this, and wow...goodbye Lowry bridge =[ didnt even know this happened...

  • Damn I was somewhere in the Rockies when this happened :(((((((

  • That's Awesome!!!

  • They do that in the US all the time things that are hundred years old or more just torn down, they did that in my home town a lot we have very little heritage anymore, They need to send city planners to live in England for a few years before allowing them to do anything, the mix between heritage and progress is perfectly balanced here.

  • Wow! And what was the reason in this?

  • Thanks for posting this. I wanted to go see this, but spaced the date.

  • Could you do a slow-motion video?

  • Thanks for posting this video!
