Oh God… o_O
It’s fantastic.
nice ;s
WTF HOW DID THAT CAR GET OVER :/
Are you Joking? Your comment in itself is a fail.
A bridge has 2 side lol
i bet that ur IQ is 0.01
dude. that just made this picture 1000 time more hilarious!
is this in florida?
no. its pitsburg. rofl
Aaaah,engineering fail…u make a liiiiiiiiiiitttle .1 mistake everything just FAILS ….
Photoshop.
Your life is photoshopped. You know not every thing in life is photoshopped.
Well if your comment was right then everything in his life would be photoshopped. Fail on your part?
well his life isn’t everything is it? you, anon, (and effbomb) fail miserably.
how bout fighting over a comedy website about photoshop?
I ‘d have to give that a rating of fail outta of fail….
Photoshop my backside
If that’s photoshopped then I’m impressed! It would take hours to get a cut that close so as to avoid all the water…
Well, it passed my scrutiny anyway.
Not really. You can make the program automatically find the edges for you. If the original picture is of a higher resolution than the one you post, any mistakes will disappear in the compression anyway.
The relevant thing here is of course that they would notice that the two sections were off long before getting this close, and definitely before actually connecting the two halves… which somehow happened to line up perfectly for one beam to go across.
It’s a good photoshop, but it’s hardly a fail.
You’re brilliant. And you win.
This would be a VERY unlikely occurrence; Think about how many engineers and other people would have worked on planning something as crucial as a bridge meeting in the center….
Even if one person messed up, all the rest would be able to deduct what the error was.
People forget that bridges are first built on paper. And that numbers don’t lie.
“Photoshop”
Hence “thanks to fark”. You fail.
“fark” might be the one who took the photo. you fail.
Hehe..it may be photoshopped…but seriously if that REALLY happend…that would SUCK
IT’s probably something that you would see happening long before you put the final bit in
However, if there were two separate contractors involved the workers my have simply used the measurements given even though they knew it was off. They just wanted to rub it the the upper’s faces!
lol photoshoped but stil their probly like WTF!!!!!
Epic spelling fail. Thanks, for trying, though.
Epic, puntuation, fail.
Epic punctuation fail twice in the same thread!
Haha, honestly I think it was sarcasm.
Duh.
Epic sarcasm comprehension fail.
Why do people have to be so anal about spelling. I mean… sooo-rrryy if somepeople actually have a life and dont go through what they just wrote and spell check it, then double spell check it, then get their mum in to proof read it, then finally, they post the damn comment. Get a life you anal “epic spell fail”.
Omg, so right….what winners. Get over it!!!!!
Same icon = same computer
Same computer = high probability of the same person posting the comment.
One minute apart, too!
Criticism Fail
Criticism Win actually, if he’s jackass enough to encourage his own comment >.<
idiocy fail. He could have been on a different computer with the same icon… that is possible ya know?
lulz you are such a looser, even to misspell whiners, you should just kill yourself.
It’s people who don’t care about spelling and preserving our language
that make the English language suck and deteriorate.
This is the internet what do you expect?I gons haave many spelwing
mestikes as i wants
There are even places where English completely disappears. In America they haven’t used it for years.
Thats the thing… you shouldn’t have to have a computer spell check what you write, you should just know how to spell things! I guess it really doesn’t matter, but it still bothers me a little.
If you put a T shirt on backwards do you say, “Meh, close enough.”
Or do you take it off and put it on correctly?
The English language is more important than your sartorial appearance.
Oh, so well stated! Bravo! I couln’t agree more!
(And this is coming from someone who thinks that appearance is quite important.)
no its not.
you sound like you used a thesaurus to write your sentences.
Seriously? The word “sartorial” may be a bit esoteric, but I don’t see any other words that “sound like [he] used a thesaurus”. “Language”? “Correctly”? “Appearance”?
I completely agree, bad spelling is a sign of somebody who either doesn’t care enough or doesn’t know enough to correct it. I would never hire anybody with a spelling error in his or her resumé, for example.
I really want to correct your first sentence and make myself feel smart, but I keep coming back to the fact that this is FailBlog and it probably doesn’t matter. So, I got over it. Congrats! You win!
Yes…I did just take the time to post this comment. I fail.
Yes actually I do say “Meh, close enough”, because quite frankly I don’t care what STUCK-UP people think of me
Well, sir, I don’t care about spelling either, but fail on your part. If you had a life you wouldnt be on failblog making comments in the first place. Social life fair.
Is that chinese for fail?
Look people this actually happened, I was there. It was built like that to confuse soccer moms. I know some crazy stuff, I was like wtf!
Sometimes, people actually spell / punctuate right the first time around. I know, weird.
I just kind of learned to spell as a child, and then use those skills when I type. That’s my method.
Well, usually the average human being doesn’t need to spell-check after they have written something if they SPELLED IT RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Cool argument bros.
lol! Comment win
“Thanks, for trying, though.” Win.
Nope not photoshopped… its the camera angle smart people
sucker
you believe this picture
dumb person
logic fail.
I agree.
Funny, if its real, thats a very expensive “oh crap” kind of moment, some ones getting fired
Obvious fake, hence fail.
It is the camera angle. The bridge the ppl are on is slightly lower than the other side. Really only a foot or two. As soon as the beams are riveted together, the tephlon on top of the columns will expand allowing the lower side to be lifted slightly, and shrink on the higher side so the two sides connect. But in order for the beam to look like it extends from one side to another, that part is photoshoped.
wow, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
even if we ignore the fact that it’s obviously fake:
-the piers are very close together, which is unlikely
-ordinarily, all the girders would be the same length, which they are not
-by the time the deck is poured or placed, all steel is fully bolted
-by “tephlon” I assume you mean “teflon”, and by “teflon”, I assume you mean “neoprene”, which some bearings may be made of. it will not allow that much movement, especially not vertically
you fail.
civil engineering FTW
Exactly right…..and I do “work on bridges”.
haha ur hilarious!
i almost had as much fun laughing at civil engineer dude skewering stupid previous comments as laughing at (rather obviously fake) photo!
Yeah, but it’s still funny.
Engineers, wewt!
whhooooo caaaaaares dood?! its a website.
doubt you know what your talking about. do YOU kno what was going on with that bridge?
“If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.”
The guy claims to know civil engineering and talks like a civil, so knowing that is likely his job or that of a friend. Maybe you should look up parts of post that you don’t understand, in this case civil engineer.
He said what was going on with the bridge…read first…write post…read again…send post.
Again, “if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.”
‘dur…i don get wat u sed cuz ur smerteer den me so im gon just call u a dumass’
did you work on bridges before
wow, one intelligent person in the list of comments! Totally fake photo. They would have realized WAY before they got that much “done” (deck poured, steel beams placed) that there was problem. Photoshop – success, common sense of people to left most of the comments – FAIL!!
your comments all fail except for that one guy.
the one? who made the comment? sometime in the past?
obviously he’s talking about that one guy… he made a comment on the page with all the comments, how did you not understand?
You dont mean the guy with the one comment do you? No Logic FTW
I can clear this up: It was the guy who made the comment about this fail…the one that used words in his comment. On Failblog on this page. Got it now?
hate to ruin everyone’s fun but I believe this bridge is in Virginia. I have seen this picture in a museum in Norfolk. So Actually this is a real fail.
Any links?
Shhhhhh. Everyone is having fun biting each other’s heads off. Much more entertaining!
lol, it is fun
Fake. No matter what else, the darkness of the shadows cast by the deck upon the girders is different between halves of the photographs. This could be “real” if for some reason the image were washed out on one side, and the balance (or brightness/contrast/whatever) adjusted selectively. Unlikely.
It could also be real if there were two different suns shining that afternoon. This explanation is also supported by the different ANGLES of the shadows (of different darkness).
Not tephlon.
Failshop.
I was waiting for someone to mention the shadows.
I soo want this as a screensaver at work : )
legos ftw
Omg, ANGLE FAIL!!!
Angle?
See also the gratuitous use of the clone stamp in the background.
photoshop.
however the bridge across the murray river at yarrawonga does this. is a bridge across the state line – and each half was built by each state.
THIS IS AN ADD IN AN INTERIOR DESIGN MAGAZINE…
ADD spelling fail. also caps lock fail
caps-lock off fail
This happens to me all the time in “Roller Coaster Tycoon.” They just need one of those swervy pieces to complete it.
hahahaha
Comment WIN!
TOTALLY true FTW!!!
Most obviously fake.
But Fail Bridge for the WIN!
hey it’s the bridge to nowhere!
Even if it’s the camera angle, it’s still a fail as the right side of the bridge is higher than the left side of the bridge.
It’s a model. If you look at the right hand side of the picture you can see the tip of the finger holding it in place.
OSHA fail…none of those people are wearing traffic vests, life jackets, or a harness, and they’re definitely within 6′ of the unprotected edge…except that one guy by the truck, but he still doesn’t have a traffic vest.
Oh yea, and the picture’s totally a fake. Anyone who thinks they would even set the forms for two piers that out of line (or that close together) is nuts, much less actually build the piers and set the steel in place…and then see the steel misaligned and still build the forms for the deck and pour it.
Sheesh.
Bridge was in Florida
more like thx to photoshop
close call…
derp
umm… that looks like it’s from robot chicken lol
I don’t care what anyone says this is real…………..people are that dumb
oh shit we really went wrong somewhere…
If this is real, alot of people are getting fired.
im pretty sure this happened in florida. build a bridge didnt line up. had to start over.
seriously. im gonna google it
You found it yet?
You are now crossing the Fail Bridge.
two pillar with that distance? Smart angle and then compressed
fake.
What kinda bridge is this anyway? two lanes without any kind of seperation in between?
This is the best comments thread I’ve ever seen.
Uh, hate to ruin all you peoples’ fun, but quite frankly, who CARES about any of the stuff you were arguing about?
To the spelling argument: Maybe people KNOW how to spell stuff, but they accidentally type stuff wrong and actually have lives so therefore don’t go back and check it over. It’s called a typo. Besides, that’s the beauty of the internet! And anyway, it’s a stupid argument and who cares if stuf iz speld rite or nawt?
To the ongoing is-it-real argument: Does it matter if it’s real or not? The bottom line is, it’s funny and that’s all there is to it.
Glad I could help clear up your childish stupidity
~Kagura Sohma~
comment fail.
tax dollar !!!!!!!!!!!
a bridge too far…
- epic face palm -
Something that’s funny, beside the picture, is that people use comments to argue. Someone here doesn’t even comment the picture:P
If the picture is real it’s f***ing hilarious!
Well what truly amazes me is the length of time that has elapsed from the first coment about this mystery bridge till now….it is like a good art work…at least it gets people commenting.
oops…and speaking of spelling….haha…I meant ‘comment’…..
comment thread FTW!
+1 on failshop, duh.
When I grow up I want to be an engineer just like those guys and build bridges just like that one.
There was a bridge in belmar, nj that this happened to. is probably that bridge
That’s an optical illusion. It’s in the angle you think it’s sticking, but it’s not ;p
Did he die?
bad design
Nice bridge.
Out of a team of engineers and construction guys working on the bridge, I’m sure someone would’ve noticed the error long before that whole segment was built.
It’s probably optical illusion or photoshop
I 100% agree that it is photoshopped and most likely would not hapen in the real world.
lol how did that happen? watch an old guy drive right of that bridge in a wheel chair XD
FAKE
First up, sorry for answering to such and old thread, but I think I’m the only one who seems to have made a number of observations vital to proving that this image has been edited. Primarily, the shades the left side of the bridge casts on itself is different from the right, the right being longer and darker. Also, the two bridge piers visible in the picture are disturbingly close to each other. That could mean two things; either the bridge is too small or this image has been edited. In the first case, you’d think that while building a quarter-of a-mile long bridge you’d see that the two sides won’t meet long before you get them that close. Plus, it would be unbelievably stupid if the engineers decided to connect the two sides, as displayed in the picture. That rules out option 1, and we’re left with only one: It was edited.
PS. You can also tell it’s a bit fishy by noticing abnormal cuts to the waves (upper-right corner).
that’s our taxes hard at work!
reminds me of a joke…
When England was looking to build the tunnel under the english channel they were seeing what sort of deals they could get with other countries to get it done. Japan said “We will build the bridge for 1,000,000 dollars, gaurantee 100% accuracy, and be done in 2 months.”
The U.S. said ” We can gaurantee 75% accuracy, do it for 750,000 dollars, and be done in 1 month.”
Soviet Russia said “we can do it for free, with 0% accuracy, in two weeks. Worst case scenario, you have 2 tunnels.”
(yes I know japan’s currency isn’t U.S. dallors, that’s how the joke went when I heard it.)
crap, calling spelling fail on myself for the whole “dallors” thing. should have been dollars
augh!! the “bridge” in the japanese offer should be tunnel! god darn it I should have proof read it better!
FAKE!
RIGHT
LANE ENDS
MERGE LEFT
…fixed
Escher bridge…WIN…
Photoshop Photoshop
What i do not realize is actually how you are now not really much more well-appreciated than you may be right now. You’re so intelligent. You understand thus significantly on the subject of this matter, produced me personally believe it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men aren’t interested unless it?s one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your individual stuffs great. At all times maintain it up!
