this is a crazy true story of a 1980 disaster that needs to be a movie. Most videos dont mention there were workers IN THE SALT MINE UNDER THE LAKE when this occured. Imagine drilling above a mine with people IN IT under a lake, and then piercing the mine. Major Ooops that would be right at home today.

🤯 "There are no boundaries in the real Planet Earth. No United States, no Soviet Union, no China, no Taiwan...Rivers flow unimpeded across the swaths of continents. The persistent tides - the pulse of the sea - do not discriminate; they push against all the varied shores on Earth." ~ Jacques Yves Cousteau

This late-19th-century brick on Monroe doesn’t retreat from it — it turns the grid with a tower, anchors the block with a disciplined cornice, and stands on the corner.

Red Steel Over Green Water
The Androscoggin Swinging Bridge simply connects, century after century.

Function. Durability. Human scale.
