I was looking for Obama’s birth certificate under the bridge yesterday and found it inside a Quran stuffed inside those cracks. You’ll NEVER guess what else I found. Click HERE to find out the rest!

DOTD: Viral photo of faulty bridge is fake

DOTD is confirming that a photo showing a large crack in one of the columns attached to the Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles is fake. The photo has been shared thousands of times on Facebook. A department spokesperson tells KPLC today, “I spoke with the lead bridge inspector, and there’s no crack on the I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge like the one in that photo.” A KPLC reporter also took a picture of the bridge to compare the two photos and to show there’s no such damage.

In fairness, that bridge is regarded as nearly the most unsafe bridge in the entire nation and in terrible repair.

I like how they send someone to take a picture to show it is let fake, but they take the picture from 100 yards further and make it difficult to actually see the proof.

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - DOTD has confirmed that a photo of a large crack in the I-10 bridge making the rounds on social media is fake.

Tammy York with DOTD says, “I spoke with the lead bridge inspector and there’s no crack on the I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge like the one in that photo.”

KPLC sent a reporter down to the scene earlier today and took a photo of the bridge which we compared to the fake version below.

Why so many downvotes?

I always find it funny when old, dilapidated men come back at the newer versions.

Depending on how depraved you might be, how great would it be since the picture was proved fake, that it collapses anyway?

Key phrase here.

Those supports are cracked and crumbling at the base.

I moved out of the area, but I’ve got no qualms about driving over it. It it just so happens to give out while I’m on it, then it’s just my time.

That looks scary AF.

I bet they can raise tons of money for the repairs by auctioning off the gun railings.

Those pistols could be the next truck nutz for the plant baws. You could put me down for a couple of sets.

They could charge tree fiddy and make tons of money.
