Reboing!
So…with telekenesis?
A ReBoing indeed, but I do love videos like this. I’m going to watch it again.
Yeah but this time it’s not just a Prague bridge, it’s EUROPEAN bridges!
A case can be made for that in the case of a bridge commissioned by a Luxembourger who was King of Italy and Emperor of Germany, built in what is now Czechia and then a multicultural Czech-German mixed city and featuring statues of saints from places like Cornwall, Spain, Turkey and France.
A bridge too far, then?
I don’t recall seeing this before - likely due to the Orange Idiot’s BS in the runup to the November elections being a larger and stressful distraction.
If it’s made of stone, can we still burn our bridges?
My goodness! What sorcery did they use to make those stones fall from the sky and land in exactly the right places?
The Engineering God did that.
I dunno, I kept seeing the peasants from Monty Python and the Holy Grail climbing all over this, covered in shit.
A reasonably good fictional account of this process in England.
It’s hard to beat the Karluv Most for a scenic bridge.
14th century pile-drivers? Cool!
No, witchcraft.
