Lower Bartonsville Covered Bridge collapses into the Williams River in Vermont
Posted by James on December 28, 2011 · 25 Comments
This covered bridge built in 1870 could not survive the raging water of the Williams River in Lower Bartonsville village in the town of Rockingham, Windham County, VT. We were hoping all day the water would not reach the top of the abutment but the bridge lost its battle rather gracefully as it floated a bit down stream before breaking into pieces. Our town has set up a fund to rebuild our historic bridge go to www.rockbf.org for more information.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
No need to apologize for the language. That was my exact reaction. Too bad other viewers have? no sense of history or what it meant to us to lose this bridge.
Am I the only one who doesn’t care that the woman is cussing but that the guy in the background is being snarky about the fact that she’s really upset? It’s HILARIOUS. “Ha ha. ? Sa-ad.” “I don’t care if you got it or not-” XD And in one of your other other videos you’re discussing pig farming or something.
build a bridge and get over it get it?? na jk? thats not funny at all
@rwalk09
Nicely? put
i blame? viocom
I’m sorry,I just read about this on Weather.com and? this is a shame…Just remember,hold your head up and remember there are alot of people who’s memories will keep that beautiful covered bridge standing for a long time to come.
God may have destroyed this bridge in? anger, and this bridge may have only been an object. But many people had memories from the bridge, and it was so beautiful as well.
that bridge stood there since 1870 and was their for 141 years. my father, grandfather, and great grandfather saw that bridge. a terrible loss,? and people who dont understand this loss should hold back on comment….thank you.
@Pavesimo you are talking about the english language and you can’t even? spell DISGUSTING
@Pavesimo? Good use of the word disgusting. ITS DISGUSTING NOT DISCUSTING!
This is so, so sad.? Thank you for posting.
@Pavesimo? Welcome to the internet my friend
@Pavesimo I’m one of the cleanest tongued boys i? know, and that’s saying something because i’m in a home-schooled christian family, so yeah, not much swearing there.Anyway, when i first saw this video, and saw this amazing bridge which i loved so much, and had so many memories of mine in it,memories of meetings and adventures and watching my parents kiss every time they crossed it, well, i had the same swears on the tip of my tongue. Yes, this is not good language, but now really isn’t the time.
This seems a little silly to cry so much over.? People died in the storms and shit…it’s just a bridge. It can be rebuilt and memory can live on. Sucks when historical structures go…but be glad that there wasn’t a loss of life…not sad about material structures that fell over.
@Pavesimo Get over it you pussy ass bitch ass dick nose fuckhead.
Oh shit. Did I swear too? Fuuuuck.
CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT. It’s free speech get the fuck over? it.
That’s so sad that this happened! And some people are so insensitive. How would you like it if let’s say, a house you grew up in was washed away like this.And you shared the video, and we all posted to grow up and stop crying because its just a stupid house.You’d be mad.Its not about what it is, its about the fact that they lost something that? housed their memories,their childhoods, their history.Stop being insensitive jerks.
“IM SAD” :12?
sad nature is a powerful? force that humbles us.
materialism…? people becoming attached to objects, sorry it collapsed i wish it didnt, but in the end it was just a bunch of wood bound to go sometime, the memories you had there will live on, but really its just a bridge
@Pavesimo It’s really not that we find it okay. We just? saw past the words and saw and felt her heart. I share her pain. I could identify with this sense of terrible loss. Sometimes, we just need to look past someone’s faults to see them. This was at a split second of despair and shock!
@Nitonogol You’re right, she did and 4 of her generations have crossed that bridge for decades. It’s? nice of you to be so understanding. This bridge will never be replaced. It holds fond memories for many over the years. The bridge become a bid part of all of us who live here, among other that used it.
@CTFireCop That’s? true!
