Every once in a while, you just need to see a good bridge demolition. Here's a short and sweet one. I like how the sound of the explosion comes just a split second after the visual -- sound traveling slower than light, as you know. The poor structure being destroyed is the Fort Steuben Bridge in Ohio, which was declared structurally unsound. It took 153 pounds of explosives to reduce this bridge to a pile of rubble. Watch and enjoy.
