Alton Mo.-New Clark Bridge
I just got done Watching this 2 hour special on PBS on the start to Finish building of The NEW Clark Cable Bridge Between Alton,Mo. & Illinois.
I believe The Clarys are from there?
I was Amazed at the ingenuity that all the Men put into this Bridge.
I know it's not the Golden Gate,but the enviroment of the Big Muddy and the skills it took to engineer such a Feat,were definatley a Testament to what Man can Do.
And just before they were completely done,The head engineer goes on camera and says that they had no Major problems,and they would finish on time.....
Then WHAM!..A 100 year Flood occurs,and Nearly wipes it off the face of the Earth,but they Survived it.
Hats off to the Men who built that baby! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
