CaaC (John) 4,938 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Costing $20bn (£15.3bn)!! a lot of dosh just to get from A to B and "Designed to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, it was built using 400,000 tonnes of steel, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers.", I would still worry about it withstanding an earthquake, mother nature has a canny act of getting around anything.

Dr. Gonzo 7,500 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Built to withstand typhoons eh? Pretty remarkable engineering feet to make a bridge like that. Hope it stands up without any horrific disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the video around the 21/24 second mark you will see the camera shuddering as if it was experiencing the latter (typhoon or earthquake) or that was just a simulator effect?

I can't tell if it's real or not because the road looks so perfect and untouched it doesn't look real... but it's also a brand new bridge - so it should be perfect and untouched.
