A ‘ribbon’ was holding a bridge up?
Must have been some ribbon!
To: grundle
Oh boy… didn’t something similar happen about a year ago in Mexico?

Sabotage in the Congo?
I’m suspecting Chinese subversives.

How could a ribbon hold up a bridge?
Idiotic headline.

They are called Ribbon Bridges. My son’s unit put up the first real one in combat during OIF, objective Peach, April 3, 2003, from the Karbala area across the Euphrates.

That was some bridge. Big loss for the community. I can see why they had high hopes for it. After spending 3.7 million USD on it, the local warlord drove away in his new Escalade.
They now require 7.8 billion for cleanup and new bridge 2.0 project.

Wouldn’t have happened if they had of got LT. COL. Patterson to build it. He built bridges and railroad in Tsavo.

The guys suit was worth ×5000 more than the building materials. Holy cow.

ROTFLMBO!!!
I cant stop watching that clip. LOL. Black suit guy pushing white chic back to get his own butt propelled off the bridge. Thank goodness the military was there to quell the panic.

You can almost see the grift cash flying out of the politician’s pockets as they fall.

Well, at least they used a ribbon, rather than the usual chewing gum.
