I'm kinda tired of porn and politics. I'm dumping a folder of long bridges

Honest question. How did humanity go about building these things especially over water?

These are good bridges.

Ingenuity. There's a building technique called case drilling. They use that to set the foundations.

Impressive. I'm also amazed at how large submarines and other feats were built and neatly functional. It seems like so much can go wrong at any points.

are any of these bridges longer than long cat?

Yes. But I don't think those are built in the water.
Of course not. Don't be silly.

>It seems like so much can go wrong at any points.
it does, but then they fix it, or start again with a new design. you only see the final outcome but there were many failures leading up to that point.

I actually wanted to be a structural engineer with a focus on bridges because of how cool i thought they were lol.
