SR 520 Floating Bridge - Simulated failure by wind storm
Loading...
Uploaded by wsdot on Apr 5, 2007
This simulation highlights what might happen in the event of a complete and catastrophic failure of the SR 520 Floating Bridge. This catastrophic failure would most likely occur during a 20-year wind storm; or a storm with sustained winds exceeding 75 mph.

Hey, if that thing floats up north, can I use it to more easily travel from Juanita to Lake City? Hands off it, people. I called it first!

@djjimi This is about making money. The interstate highway system was built using taxpayer dollars and is maintained using taxpayer dollars (regardless of use). The concept is to have the people who use the most expensive sections of road to partially pay for maintenance/improvements.
There is nothing unconstitutional about creating a product/service the public finds useful and charging for it. What we would need is complete transparency to watch for kickbacks, corruption, etc.

This is a joke. You intentionally sank the old i90 bridge... and now there's talk about tolling the I90 next, then there are plans to start tolling lanes on both 405 and I5 corridors. This shit is unconstitutional.
Get used to it, there is no "plan" to build a new bridge. This is all about controlling how and where the people of this state travel.

Also B actors over acting in front of the camera with the most unpopular B actor sacrificing him or herself to save a baby from certain death.

The storm that could develop is from tropical storm Lingling. If it actually happens then I doubt it will be as powerful as the one last year. Sorry if no one cares - I just like to make predictions and i love the power of nature.
