@@billredding2000 thank you for your service, cool to hear stories like that. I'm 23 and I feel I've missed the golden years of humanity.

I hope you the best and greetings from Canada, I hope you've lived a great life and I wish you the best of days heading forward
That’s funny. Agreed. However, you should see CEO Eric Smidt’s 10 acre crib in Beverly Hills. I watched this place get built for years. Doubt any Harbor Freight tools were for that
Wow no wonder water makes electricity. It’s a powerful force. Glad the bridge was built well enough to take it although I’m sure there’s extensive damage!!
Update: They're still sunk! On a more serious note, due to the shallow depth of the water, they can be salvaged quite easily. All of this would have been completely avoided by simply securing the mooring lines and using sufficient mooring lines for the expected, forecast conditions!
This video really shows the power of water in a very graphic sense. Be careful out there. It would be nice to know the final results. Did the bridge hold?
They dont realise they in serious danger. I once watched something like this happen, the boat turned the bridge into a dam and the water rose so quickly people had to run for their lives.
![[900] Many boats pass through the dangerous, dramatic and spectacular dam gate](/img/n.gif)
Amazing how powerful the water is. Also it is a very well built bridge.
Agreed. A VERY well constructed bridge!

On the positive note, the spectators seem all to be recording with their phones in landscape mode.
O geez! Yur 1 o doze camera remark enbreds!
Ha! I love this! Amen, brother.
@@davidhughes4448 Thx👍🏿
Nice
People these days seem to have no talent or aptitude for anything except for taking pictures with their cell phones.
I agree, the bridge was well built
Vietnam ???
Someone's entire mining operation just got completely destroyed.😢
how sad a lot of people out of a job and a business gone
Either this captain was watching TV or he was drunk.
@@lenny108you do t steer a barge genius. It’s a flood and it got washed down stream. Geez.
@@mikepalmer1971 But the man lost his whole existence within minutes.
Or,severely delayed.
Amazing up close footage, thanks for posting...
Yes, Thank you for watching! Don't forget subscribe my channel:)
That's a great bridge!
I'm impressed! A Chinese bridge that's NOT tofu-dreg!
Not a chinese brisge
Just like there wall.
@@LongTran-em6hc Where is it then??
@@pat8988 Lào Cai, Việt Nam, Yagi storm, 3 weeks ago.
Luckily for the bridge the barge was from Harbor Freight
That’s funny. Agreed. However, you should see CEO Eric Smidt’s 10 acre crib in Beverly Hills. I watched this place get built for years. Doubt any Harbor Freight tools were for that
…and the bridge was Craftsman
@@bluskytoo Craftsman is garbage today.
@@scottstewart316 What isn't?
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Bridge NOT made in China.
This bridge is in VietNam.
That is one stout bridge. Kudos to the engineers and builders that put it together.
@@RiversLife1987 That's a strong bridge, but another bridge in Vietnam collapsed during typhoon Yagi. Last I read 10 people are still missing.
😄👏🏽
I think the people commenting are missing the point 😂🤣😃😆😅😄
Looks like a dredge to me, incredibly strong bridge!
Great respect to the engineers and workers who built that bridge!
This is so sad! How many jobs was that? How many people relied on that business? I hope they can recover.
Monsoon, flood, ZERO excuses for NOT checking riggings !!!!
Boss: You tie up the boat last night?
Worker: Yeah boss,all good!
But it was Friday night😮
it's a little late now.
VERY well-made bridge!
A very good example of momentum!
A Minneapolis bridge would have collapsed as the barge approached
As you make stupid comments before putting brain in action. Or is there no brain in there?
@@JustMe-md2gp either your from Minneapolis, or you just really like bridges..probably both
Rip the man on the barge 🙏
I was beginning to think that I was the only one who saw the person in the barge. I thought maybe it wasn't a person....
Wow what a great video GRAND MERCI
Wow no wonder water makes electricity. It’s a powerful force. Glad the bridge was built well enough to take it although I’m sure there’s extensive damage!!
Watching from Oklahoma USA
Looks like at least $100 in scrap metal there.
It looked like scrapmetal before the collision
It's a dredge....it looks like it has seen better days.
That first barge was a Bucket chain excavator
WOW Thats crazy. Please give an update video.
Everything was submerged in the river, and the flood is still very strong now.
What river is this?
Update: They're still sunk!
On a more serious note, due to the shallow depth of the water, they can be salvaged quite easily.
All of this would have been completely avoided by simply securing the mooring lines and using sufficient mooring lines for the expected, forecast conditions!
...that's a solid bridge btw!!
This looks like it's going to be expensive.
Yep, real expensive really quick.
mother nature ... undefeated:)
You cannot stop the course of nature ❤

Fuh up, bridge numbah one 💪
Nice video recording of this strange event ............... WHO is to blame ?
MY MAN JUMPED OVER LIKE HE WAS GONNA SAVE IT""""100%%%
Well...that's not going to buff out.
VietNam ?
Yes!
It was God's will.
So all good... ☆
Beautiful
Don't worry captain, we can buff out those scratches
Where was this? As sturdy as the bridge appears I'm sure that inspectors will still be checking for excess stress.
That's one tough ass bridge😊
THE bridge won,,, ------with stand the impact----pass quality control,, all bridge must be stand firm as this one,,,
Well that sucks, that was a nice set of dredges :o(
where did you get the helmets?
Kudos to the engineers and workers responsible for building the bridge, that's a lot of stress to endure.
Bridge MVP.
Very sad. That bridge is damaged and will need a very careful complete inspection. Why weren't the barges secured?
Bridge 1, Barge 0.🤪
It's amazing what you'll find at the bottom of a river. Particularly downstream of a bridge.
Water moving that quickly will not be stopped.
Mooring rope! I thought you said Maureen rope
Tough bridge.
You can't beat nature!
WOW!! Where is this?
Vietnam typhoon Yagi
Good solid bridge.
A Well Built Bridge,i think Built by Australian Company!
' left hand down a bit skipper ...... ooooh nasty '
That's one hell-for-stout bridge.
How many people saw the Chrome key guy on the left-hand side?
Good Quality bridge.
THAT BRIDGE COLLECT ALL THOSE VESSELS 😮
Ugly barges, good bridge. The civil engineers used a safety factor of 3.1 barges - good job guys!
Bridge: You can not barge.
YOU SHALL NOT BARDGE!
Temos aqui a ponte mais segura do mundo!
No not horrifying 😆Just cool too watch
Damn!
did the guy crossing the fence go and push that large chunk that got stuck in the front?
Who left the handbrake off?
There' these things called ropes and anchors, its all the rage here in the WEST
Humans: We are destroying Mother Earth
Mother Earth: ...
Bridge” yum yum. “
Let this be a lesson. Always check your rigging! Especially during a flood.
Ahhhh, where?
A testament to the unrelenting power of water. So glad the barges were abandoned.
Bad news: Our bridge is closed.
Good news: We finished the new dam in record time.
Its more than one barge - the second running alongside hits a few moments after the first
A testament to the strength of the bridge...
And the water….
@@StarshipTrooper2050 Yes the power of nature...
Hire the people who built that bridge 😮
Thanks but no thanks for your further info of this event... location????...casualties???
Flooding from typhoon Yagi in Vietnam
@@bigtvjunky9119 This info is appreciated, thank you!
Anyone know if the man on the barge survived?
Holy crap!
Insurance representative: 😢😭😱
Salvagers: 😊🎉,🔥
The power of water will make it fit!
This power is too terrible!
Maybe in VN?
Yes, VietNam!
Give respect to the green roof building to pull over to the bank and let the machinery go first
Die Brückenbauer haben gute Arbeit geleistet.......
Boy, if ever a video needed a backstory . .
Not horrifying at all, but entertaining...
Why would they do that?
If this were in China the bridge would have collapsed when the barges hit it, that's how I can tell this isn't in China! Thanks for the video!
😆 definitely not the US either 😕
Yes, China has had four (4) partial or full bridge collapses in 2024.
Did mr George tie those up?
Bardge: oh shit
Bridge: 0 shits given
That is not the English language. Is this the Kern River? Bride-1, barge-0.
It's a mean piece of water my friend
Gravity never sleeps !……just saying 😳💔😢
Never underestimate the power of water.
They cut it loose on purpose because it was condemned and they couldn’t put it in the recycling bin.
looks like the 3rd and 4th one....geez....
Coulda used a little Astrolube on that barge.
The river did make it fit under the bridge
THAT is how you build a bridge!
Bridge is strong enough to double as a dam. Notice the water level rise?
Needed those Hong Alert Sirens that you hear in tsunamis and earthquakes.
They dont realise they in serious danger. I once watched something like this happen, the boat turned the bridge into a dam and the water rose so quickly people had to run for their lives.
That kinda looked like a gold dredge! That sucks for whoever owned it!
