GG Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Good thing it wasn't this guy that collapsed. This is one of the more impressive engineering feats I've seen.
DC Tom Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 The office for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is on his way to the bridge via helicopter, said that the crane operator was trapped in the crane after the collapse. He was expected to hold a media briefing at about 3:15 p.m. Damn good reporting there. I wonder what the crane operator's going to say at his media briefing.

Nanker Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Just went over the TZB a couple of weeks ago. If that's shut down for very long (more than a few hours) it will make for monumental traffic jams at the other crossings... and there aren't that many. That said, it seems like they are making a lot of progress on the new spans. Hope this doesn't set them back too much.
mead107 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Have to go over it Friday to get to hotel for wedding on Saturday.
DC Tom Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Have to go over it Friday to get to hotel for wedding on Saturday. Better leave now.
Chef Jim Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Better leave now. Hell I'd use this as the perfect excuse not to go.

Gugny Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Oh schit. It just dawned on me that I'm going to NYC this weekend.
Hammered a Lot Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Oh schit. It just dawned on me that I'm going to NYC this weekend. Should be reopened shortly

Well OSHA will have to come in, then bridge inspectors will have to certify it's safe, throw in some red tape etc etc and the old bridge should be open in a week and the new bridge delayed forever.
Captain_Quint Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Any updates? Mead decided he's going to the wedding and punching someone in the face, Johnny football style.
Just Jack Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Any updates? It's mostly re-opened... http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Tappan-Zee-Crane-Collapse-Westchester-Lanes-NYC-Bridge-Traffic-387477431.html
