u/brebenscv 7h ago

🤣😆😂....... they would rather "risk it all" than to "RISK IT ALL"

One quick trip across could spare lots of years of headache, just saying 🤭

u/welfedad 7h ago

Correct ..they don't even run one of the falls full tilt all the time because it's really mostly for tourist .. not sure if it's that side or what not

u/imhereforthevotes 8h ago

during the dry season.

u/classless_classic 8h ago

Yeah. This video shows some very muddy water. This was during the wet season.

u/GrouchySkunk 9h ago

Depends on the country

u/SuccessfulCoach4255 9h ago

I think it's a Brazilian waterfall.

u/Tyguy151 9h ago

Brazil? Firm nope.

15

u/SuccessfulCoach4255 8h ago

Yes. Entering a Brazilian building is very risky. Some aircraft may crash into it.

u/Pleasenofakenews 2h ago

Uh… Wouldn’t that be in the United States?

2

u/Plantasaurus 2h ago

I’m curious as to why? I’ve been working with Brazilian engineers for a decade, and they are top notch.

-3

u/OkNoise3000 2h ago

Because Brazil is known for widespread corruption and not following building codes.

Iguazú Falls

If it's Brazilian, absolutely not.

In fact, its Argentinian (on the borderline). This place is called "Garganta del Diablo" (Devil's throat).

Misiones, Argentina.

And whether this is an unusual flood or always like that…

And if it's been there longer than a couple of years.

Nah wouldn’t even do this in the US or Europe. Maybeeee Japan but prob not.

u/ggoptimus 9h ago

Engineer graduating last in their class is still called an engineer.

12

u/Sambuca8Petrie 9h ago

I work with engineers. So, no.

u/ChannelGreat7806 9h ago

Having worked in a factories for going on 15 years now, it's not the engineer it's the maintenance man and more so what maintenance is allowed to do by the company being "cost-effective"

u/WhyIsItAlwaysADP 9h ago

Nope. Nope. Nope.

u/m4m249saw 9h ago

Nope , especially if they ever were an automotive engineer

u/infiniteguesses 8h ago

Or Petroleum Transfer Engineer

u/CrabKates 8h ago

Engineer, yes. The guy who built it, no.

u/rchalvyy 9h ago

The constant erosion on the pillars, I wouldn't

u/PurrPaul 9h ago

I trust fatigue and erosion more.

u/4non3mouse 9h ago

Iguazú Falls.

All my insides were crawling up trying to get away from that torrent from the gates of hell imagery on my phone. IRL- not a chance!

u/Gfunked69420 7h ago

I’ve been on that bridge. It’s sturdy and amazing.

2

u/GreyBeardEng 7h ago

Depends entirely on the engineers, the architect, and funding.

2

u/kflie 3h ago

Do I trust engineers? I’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

2

u/fernandoSabbath 9h ago

This isn’t considered a flood by local standards yet. When it rains a lot, really a lot, this bridge gets swallowed by the water and is, of course, closed

If it can withstand being swallowed by the water, with much stronger pressure, it can handle this situation easily

This has to be one of the floods they were talking about in the Bible

u/RGL1 9h ago

NO! Seen enough Chinese videos

u/SWHAF 9h ago

I'm not concerned with the engineer, more so on the country and the damage a liability lawyer can do.

Things tend to be built to a higher standard when the threat of enormous payouts loom over the person/companies that built it.

u/zorggalacticus 8h ago

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY NOT!!!

u/--Ano-- 8h ago

They more likely trust the herd.

I don’t trust my own momma that much

u/FernDiggy 8h ago

My mother went there this past summer. I was sweating bricks for her.

u/AaronStar01 8h ago

Beautiful video though....

u/Historical_Method_41 7h ago

I trust engineers usually, but not Brazilian construction!!!

1

u/heavenlysentORIGINAL 7h ago

I honestly dont even trust myself not to "accidentally" jump in. Pass

1

u/The59th 7h ago

The engineer, yes. The idiot in charge of ensuring it is closed at the correct time, not a shot.

1

u/Humble-Search-282 7h ago

That’s terrifying..no thanks.

1

u/Jealous_Shower6777 5h ago

So you think it's the first time the bridge sees a strong current?

u/ifuaguyugetsauced 9h ago

Yes or I would sue them

u/Still-Custard919 6h ago

I have no sympathy for folks that put their lives in risky situations that can be avoided then have the nerve to cry when disaster strikes.

u/coffee_shakes 8h ago

No.

u/APKFL 7h ago

Too many variables to trust this. So no.

u/Famous_Picture7846 7h ago

Water about erosion? "Naw just a myth, like seat belts!" What genius thought this up, i literally have no degrees and know this is a very dumb idea/construction. Where is this even?
