I can only wonder why this guy and people like him wont entertain the thought of what our government does or doesn't do without making it Public knowledge. We are being fed bullshit daily. The chem trails are real 100%. I used to have to get my camera and take pics every time I've seen multiples.. Then videos. They turn them off and on between clouds at times. Easter this year was ridiculous. I have a video of a plane turning chem trail off and on or maybe its a practice to shut engines off during flight to save fuel?
Johnstown is my hometown and there are three high water markers at Johnstown's City Hall showing the two other major floods since that devastating 1889 flood. While the 1936 rain and snow melt flood and the 1977 flash flood events were devastating, one look at the 1889 high water mark shows how ridiculously high the wall of water was when it hit Johnstown.
They're not cleaning it up as a testament to the power of mother nature. yeah ok!!! It's not about as to the testament of the government being lazy and cheap.
It,s not an eyesore. It,s a reminder...from dust you were created and into dust you shall return. PA doesn't get alot of tornados so that is something.
@@codymoe4986 It's called 'burying the lead.' The issue wasn't the wind. Can you imagine how many times that bridge has experienced winds greater than that? The story was that the construction rehab techniques had weakened it. Many areas of the country experience wind like this on a regular basis (such as Colorado Springs).
I walked across it in 1987. A speeder rode past as I did and shook the bridge enough I decided to get a look at it from the ground on the way back. Almost made across that stream with dry feet.
My ancestors lived in this area from just after the Revolutionary War. A couple of years before the destruction of this bridge I participated in a Family Reunion nearby and one of our activities was to take the scenic railroad ride through the area. We waited and waited, but the steam engine never showed up, instead they sent this very old diesel-electric engine. When we got to the bridge, we had to get out because the bridge was considered unsafe for the weight of the engine and the engineer wouldn't cross it. Of course, they didn't tell us that when we bought the tickets. Many of us walked out over the bridge to get a sense of how spectacular and beautiful this view was. Just another example of extremely impressive old technology that is lost forever except in surviving pieces. Kind of like my Elgin pocket watch, a marvel, an absolute marvel of mechanical perfection and precision, that once was so ubiquitous and affordable so that just about every man owned one, but will never be made again.
@@Phoenix-jw1mn I understand your perspective. To me, it sounded like a better response than “due to money…” and he was at least able to tie it into the whole “power of nature” overarching story. Out of curiosity, what do you think he could have said that would have came off as a more sensible response?
@@kmazabob7066I can see what you say as well. I'm a very blunt person. I would outline the excessive cost and the benefit vs detriment of moving it. Oftentimes, it's not cost effective and small communities don't want to fork that over without federal funds backing it. I like seeing the whys of something but that's also just part of my job.
This Bridge/Line was owned by the Erie Railroad. The Baltimore and Ohio owned a line running north, parallel woth it. By the 1950s, the Erie got trackage rights over the B&O and stopped running trains on that line, and eventually sold it off When different railroads merging, especially in the 70s-80s, many lines were consolidated, sold off or simply abandoned because they were redundant or unprofitable at that point.
So many people forget that they have a Global audience and fail to even tell you the country to which they are referring. Kinzua sounds like an African name.
Why don’t they just repair the bridge, and use the train tracks again? Mother Nature is a bitch, we know this, but just letting the bridge go is stupid, immature, and ridiculous.
The bridge was originally used for hauling coal. After the local mines shut down it was used for sightseeing trains. There would need to be a way for it to be profitable for somebody to pay to rebuild it. Also, it is in a state park. If you would have the opportunity to visit I highly recommend it. Very scenic and historical and the visitor center is very interesting and informative.
This reminds me of the 2007 washout between Tillamook and Hillsboro Oregon. That is why the railroad is going to become the Salmonberry Trail just like the railroad between banks and Vernonia.
I happened to be in downtown Dallas the night that “Occupy Dallas “ came to an end. All I can say to these folks is good luck with that. When the Mounties came, it was over in minutes.
We used to visit the bridge as a family annually for many years. The last time we were there was 2001. I was so upset when I heard of it’s demise. So much so that I didn’t go back until 2014. Yes, seeing those toppled towers was emotional, but seeing how the bridge and park were “reinvented” made it a little easier. We always hiked down through the valley and back across the bridge in the “olden days”. I decided in my 2014 visit to attempt the same. I waded through overgrowth among the downed steel. Eventually I got to a sign that read “Passage Prohibited Beyond This Point”. Not being one to obey signs, I continued on. I went no more than another 50 yards when I tripped in some underbrush and fell into some of the twisted wreckage. I ripped my pants and put a healthy gash in my leg. After regaining my composure I thought better of my choice to disobey the sign and went back the way I came. Lesson learned. 😊
Here is the compiled evidence from scientist and military experts. They are chemtrails when they grow and make man-made clouds. Dane Wigington was also a scientist from So. Cal that moved to No Cal and noticed his solar panels were not catching full light when these geo-engineering planes started showing up and ejecting their aerosols. This is well known; how can it be a conspiracy theory? There is even legislation in TX, and Conn. against this and gaining steam. I urge you to watch "The Dimming." Facts based documentary from scientists. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G_NYNt1I6-Q.html Thanks.
The ignorance here is profound. Then to bold face LIE to the public is even more insane. I guess if you are just uneducated I could understand but you state you are Dr. Jon. So with that said I would assume you to be educated. Ignorance is bliss so I encourage Mr. Jon to do some very basic of research before you go on and continue misinforming the public and straight out lying to your viewers. I'll give you some tips. NASA has plenty of information as well as NOAA and those are 2 Gov entities I list as the most OBVIOUS. Our own Military even and there are several major private sector companies devoted to Geoengineering and Solar Radiation Modification which INVOLVES you guessed it "Stratospheric aerosol Injection" AKA "CHEMTRAILS". You should probably lay off of the leprechauns, unicorns, and bigfeet!🤣 Very Sad Indeed....
