'Love locks' removed from Paris bridge 

I mean, most of those relationships have already crumbled

They should change the tradition so that when the couple splits up one of them has to go back and remove the lock - if they did that 90% of that junk would be gone.

"Our love will last as long as this lock" *_One day later:_*

“I think they should be put in a museum” I can’t wait to go to the rusty old lock museum

*removes locks* *divorce rates skyrocket* *couples breaking up* *missing grooms/brides in weddings*

NOW Get those keys out of the water!

The problem is not only about locks but the keys that are thrown in the river too.

It sounds sentimental to remove all these "love locks", but one wonders how many of these couples will still be together.

I think it makes sense to remove the padlocks, they are actually an eyesore and could cause problems to the bridge, etc...but I think this is a great opportunity for an artist to melt of those padlocks and make an sculpture, making something beautiful out of it that could actually last for ever and honor the love of all those couples..just a thought

Now send them to the Lockpickinglawyer

As some guy who does a prague tour channel said,if you need a lock to prove your love,you truly aren’t in love,so true.

Those padlocks were hideously kitschy. Good riddance.

that chinesse guy can take all of them at his place and make a museum.

"I love you so much! We should destroy a landmark to show everyone our love!"

They don’t deserve to be in a museum they deserve to be in court

They are aesthetically an eye sore, expensive and time consuming to remove and they ruin the structural integrity of the grids, which in some places like Prague are historical. If they wanted to show love they would buy a wedding ring, not pollute historical places with cheap overpriced trash. Also the metal from the lock's keys changes the components of the water polluting the environment... It's just a bad idea overall.

What a great way to express your love, doing something countless others have already done

I want to see someone dive in the water to see all the keys

Lmao they should at least put it in a museum? 😂 dead

Most likely 99% of those couples have broken up in a month of putting up their "love lock"

Just melt down the junk and recycle it

Lol the dude who said put it in a museum is high

They do scrap them, and I scrap them. Because it costs money to remove them. It's classed under littering in Ireland, and depending where, also classed as defacing (graffiti). The scrap value helps pay about 30-40% of the removal costs in Dublin. The tax payer doesn't want to have to pay that. Please try to leave cities in a better conditions than when you arrived. No matter where you visit.

"Humanity has already invented something to lock your marriage it's called marriage". It was what I've heard in the RU-vid Channel: Honest Guide, a channel that gives trip advices for tourists so they can have the best experience there. In this specific video he's addressingn this very problem of love lockers in a bridge, showing how difficult it is for the people that have to break the lockers to prevent the bridge from collapsing and making an appeal for people to not destroy historical patrimony. in their case they didn't replace the structure, I would imagine the work in this case if they tried to remove lock by lock, because there's far too many. There's no need to destroy historical landmark for that. And he asked for people to stop doing ir because it gives tons of work and can collapse the structures when they get too heavy. I believe it was the kind of thing that when it was just a few it was somethingg pictoresque that would even be adding to the place. But when it become too much, it became also only hideous and dangerous for the structure to collapse.

The bridge looked like it had a disease. Thank goodness the locks are gone.

One day, two wrenches, paid by the hour.

Humans are strange

Melt it all and turn it into a metal heart ... Lol...!

0:25 well it's a trashy tradition in the first olace and needed to be stopped.

If you want your relationship to last, stop wishing and hanging lovelocks and work on your relationship! Stop watching your phone when you are with your loved one and listen more.

send those to the lockpickinglawer :)

I was hopig for 100 lock pickers to pick them individually lmao

Jesus THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO. Wtf is going on RU-vid?!

The problem with scrapping the looks is sorting the metal, the locks are a combination of, hardened steel, regular steel, brass, aluminium, phosphorous bronze, cast iron, and various zinc alloys ... separating all the metals would cost money times more than the scrap value.

0:28 i think they should put them in a museum I think they should be melted down

99 % of these couples have probably broken up anyway 😂

This was posted on June 1st, 2015, same time my ex girlfriend broke up with me talking about wanting to see new people, but I blame these workers for removing our lock!

Give them to the scrap metal men. They also take Microwaves, Washing Machines and Lawnmowers 👍

You could melt all that down and make a memorable monument nearby that acknowledges the history and symbol of love that the locks meant.

"I think they should put them somewhere, like a museum" Dude, I'm visiting Paris or any other country to see historical monuments, enjoy the culture and visit actual museums, I couldnt care less about your personal relationship, keep it to yourself and stop ruining bridges, literally acting like 12 year olds that engrave their names one a tree "Mark+Laura 2017" so immature, grow up.

New Idea, buy flower seedlings instead of locks and the city will bloom.

Worried about safety translates into someone got offended.

Now all relationships will break apart immediately when locks removed lol

New way to lock ur love: It’s called marriage

RU-vid out here recommending news from 4 years ago

45 ton?!? That’s 4500$ worth of scrap metal.

Lockers: lets stay hear Big scissors: imma end your career

Would love to see these walls of locks to be put in the city’s history museum or to tour with a theme on love and connection

I noticed all the graffiti after removals. Could Paris maybe have photographed each section and replaced the locks with full color UV resistant pictures/murals? Zero weight and memories preserved. Probably too late for that, oh well...

I feel bad for people who have to remove them. They should find an alternative that wouldn’t harm the bridge such as a ribbon to rap around it. I can’t imagine how long it would take to get every single one of those locks off.

Is fair weren't design for it and nobody allowed them to do it is called vandalize historical monuments.

Melt it, make bars, sell bars, become rich

We have this problem too here in Austria. It's not as bad though.

I hate when foreigners get mad over what a country does, like no, no ones going to put the locks in a museum for your sake

Putting a "lovelock" on a railing is vandalism

Can you actually imagine the value of those padlocks in molten steel?

These love locks are nothing but vandalism!!

Lovelocks disgust me. They make the bridge look ugly as hell. And they also put so much weight on the bridge.

Nobody: RU-vid Algorithm: *let’s put this into recommendations*

That moment, when Comments in the Comment section has got more thumbs up than the video 😂

Dovahkiin : Lockpicking lvl 100

"lockpickinglawer has entered the chat"

all that scrap value locked up in locks...

Please don’t put the locks on, they’re heavy.

It’s 2019, I guarantee none of those couples are together anymore lol

I'm happy that they aren't displaying them and just throwing them out or scraping them because if they display it people will go back to the bridge and put more in hopes of getting it displayed. It rewarding them for damaging property that may or may not have historical value.

"I think the should at least put it in museum" lol. Buddy, you should be put in museum. I guess he was hit with one of those locks as a kid.

Lol im watching 'now you see me' and these are the final moments of the bridge

Make a statue or something out of the metal. Lol.

They should create a sculpture nearby that is MADE for the locks, so they wouldn't destroy anything

A real man would get all the keys out of the water to open the locks one by one

News Flash: All the love locks that were removed were no longer couples

imagine these couples actually break up and divorce. that's karma and it's hilarious.

if your relationship is that weak that it needs a lock for security, you need to meet someone else.

I am not an expert but I feel that people who are prone to show off their "love" just like that are also those who will ditch it first chance.

Yeah let's put all fhe fences in a museum i would pay to go see fences with locks on it. That man is a genius wow i can't believe my ears.

people call this a eyesore but if you think of the history behind these locks how could you think this...

Put it in museums, yeah like your grandchildren will remember that. Nobody cares dude, literally NOBODY

This was 4 years ago and I get recommended this NOW lol

All the relationships that just ended, smh

Atleast the padlockproof barriers don’t padlockproof my padlock and glue

2015:nah 2016:not right now 2017:I don't think so 2018:nuh uh My 2019 recommendations:

and with that, thousands of couples suddenly broke up

Nice free metal scrap

0:34 the man is correct, alot of these locks are very old and worth keeping in a museum.

I’m shook I’m just now finding out about this 4 years later

Love locks are ugly and damaging, I'm glad they're getting taken down.

Why creating a menace for the city. Keep your lock at your home.

The city doesn’t owe you anything for leaving metal junk locked to a bridge

So beautiful

Why is this in my recomended 4 years later

Why are you putting locks on public property any way. It’s vandalism

No need for this men. Just call the *Locking Picking Lawyer.*

That’s so sad man that was on my bucket list!!!...

That first guy is why older people treat all young people as if they have no idea about the world.

*No one talking about those keys underwater*

You should make a wall and put them on there

I guess I'm the only one that thought the locks were cute lmao

I may be remembering wrong but I know somewhere in the world they have the whole same padlock idea but they built these special trees made out of metal or something and the padlocks are then attached like leaves. I think that could be an alternative so they aren’t damaging public property. Or just melt them down and reuse the metal.
