I've actually been on that bridge, it's a swing bridge. So the "ramp" portion would have only been about 12' long and the gap probably around 80 yards or so.

Obviously didn’t take the time to calculate angle, speed, acceleration, distance, and weight.

Easily could have been a couple accomplished

I find it oddly satisfying that when you look up the bridge on google the satellite imagery has it in the open position, exactly how these cats would have found it.

For us who have no idea, how steep, long and high is a pontoon bridge like that?


Way too fricking far for two baws to jump.

After stopping briefly, the driver placed the vehicle in reverse then accelerated forward in an attempt to “jump” the ramp of the bridge


Fatal mistake

This is my fav story of 2019 so far, by far. I can't stop laughing trying to picture what their last attempt at logical conversation was. It's so crazy

Looking at the pic above with it opened, they wouldn't have made it going 100 mph

Holy shite it's even worse when you see it open. This story is fricking hilarious. Of the Darwin awards, this is still in a league of its own.
