China builds infrastructure crappy from the get-go. the US builds good infrastructure but allows it to turn to crap because our “leaders” decide that “infrastructure” means plopping apartments into areas zoned for single-family houses because they’d rather people were packed into high density dependency than anything resembling independence. Example:
Kayaker’s photos show crack in closed I-40 bridge in 2016
A crack? Well that sounds a little worrying. A crack can be anything from cosmetic to potentially damaging. Let’s hope that it’s not too…
Nope.
That’s not a crack. That’s a COMPLETELY BROKEN STRUCTURAL ELEMENT.

Don’t let the ChiComs build your glass-bottomed bridges.
China: Man left dangling from bridge after glass breaks
The wind blew the glass panels out. One would *think* that such panels would be firmly secured, but I guess that’s western capitalist thinking.

Mortons has announced my “bookazine” Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird – Origins & Evolution, now available for pre-order. This is my first published book. Woo! It covers the development of the SR-71 from well before the program started , including the “Suntan” concepts and several Convair high speed reconnaissance platforms, up through the development of the “Archangel” series that led to the CIA’s A-12, through the Mach 3 interceptor designs and the SR-71 itself. From there it also includes a number of proposed derivatives and unbuilt concepts… an A-12 used to launch satellites, the SR-71 as a carrier for a manned hypersonic scramjet vehicle, the use of the “SR-71C” as a flying wind tunnel, etc.
It is available directly through the publisher for £8.99 (Approx $12.41 or €10.34). It is also available through Amazon for pre-order for $12.99. Direct from the publisher should be available sooner; from Amazon, lower mailing cost if you’re in the US.
Here are some shots of a few pages to give you an idea of what’s in it. I created all the diagrams within, based on official sources and as accurate as I could make them. There are many, MANY diagrams here describing designs mundane and downright wacky, from tiny unmanned drones to truly gigantic hydrogen-fueled monsters.
Tell your friends!

At one point one of the thieves comes at the witness with a lit blowtorch. I’m pretty sure that in any civilized area this would be seen as adequate cause for the witness to pop a cap in his ass… but this is not only California but the Sacramento area. No right to defense of self or property should be assumed there. Still… if the witness had, say, a can of hair spray and hosed down the thief, just so happening to blow the spray past that lit flame, one wonders what might have resulted, both from a rapid oxidation and a legal standpoint.

More footage from that South African “cash in transit” attempted heist:
If you want to draw paralleled between this sort of thing and a hypothetical “defund the police/don’t charge the Antifa domestic terrorists” future… hey, knock yourself out.
