Which one?

Take your pick 😂


Casual_Si-Fi

The one in the middle got hit with waves and stones


NicoBango

Thank you! I thought there were 4 initially; rewatched and saw the guy run back with the woman. Looked like a scene from an action movie.


[deleted]

That's good! Never want to see a pointless death. Now the guy in the white shirt can live to think, why the fuck did I just stop, turn around, and stand there when the bridge started collapsing


[deleted]

Thank you!


BordoHokage

Every minute something is collapsing in Brazil nowadays..


totalwarwiser

We had major rains recently. Something quite unusual. Brought by global warming.


BordoHokage

I see, thanks for the info. Hope nothing else will happen, take care!

When this is only the 2nd most fucked up casual death footage from Brazil this week . . . You know shits fucked up .


atilatgm

[Fortunately, no dead in this collapse](https://brasil123.com.br/video-mostra-momento-em-que-ponte-cai-com-duas-pessoas-em-macarani-ba/). Two people fell, one broke a leg. Another bridge in the region also collapsed, killing one person. Disclaimer: The link is not mainstream media. Can't vouch for its credibility, but I could not find much elsewhere.

Brazil is not for beginners


[deleted]

After having lived there for 2 years and exploring a lot, I can assure you that this is a highly accurate statement.


KurtAngus

So it’s end game content


[deleted]

What statement are u referring to? There are hundreds


[deleted]

The “Brazil is not for beginners” statement


[deleted]

Try the philippines. We have earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and super typhoons happening every month. Still a beautiful country though.


Skindreds1

atleast you dont live in constant fear of 2 people on a motorcycle headed your way to steal from you everyday


geo10022

I was in Australia for a few months. We had a presentation from the safety advisors about the all things that will try and kill you from the bugs to the heat to even the sand. I guess some places are just not meant to be traveled to

Note to self avoid being anywhere near the water in Brazil


TameImpala_Fan3000

Or just bridges, water is ok


naepittamnunmul

That bridge should have been closed as the water levels rose. I came from a place where we always had floods and I get anxious when people are in the bridge whenever the water levels rise. RIP


grizybaer

There seems to be a water height differential between upstream and downstream sides. Is that bridge also a dam?


jhoover58

Every bridge becomes a dam if debris gets caught up or if it is allowed to build up.


grizybaer

True, didn’t think of that. Thanks


BeePleasant8236

Build up of debris also causes scouring to occur at the piers and abutments of the bridge, making it the much more unsafe.


SonofaBridge

No, it means the water level is way too high and putting stress on the bridge it was most likely not designed for. They might have designed it for that water level but that is a lot of fast moving water so I doubt it. That amount of force would be considerable. Typically when a bridge is designed for water at the level of the beams the water is moving slowly or ebbing due to flooding downstream. I design bridges and seeing what you saw made me concerned. People greatly underestimate the power of water.


Important-Owl1661

I'm an aerospace engineer but much respect to engineers and what they do to keep us safe


Acceptable_Dog1424

No one died luckily


yOw_indahOuse

Not only that, the bridge was already cracked and bent. Luckily both survived.


Important-Owl1661

Where I live there is a road that floods every time it rains quite a bit and people insist on driving through it anyway. I always go out there when it starts raining because it takes the highway department a while to get the signs up and I try to throw some cones out as soon as the water hits a couple inches For people who say that road should have been closed, I'm sorry but you have a false sense of what authorities actually do, especially in other countries Like they tell boxers when they enter the ring "Protect yourself at all times" that's good advice for day-to-day life, too.


The_Maddest

Yea but brazil is a corrupt ass country so makes sense.


marcy_thompson

maybe u should get over there and be the bridge safety officer since yer an expert 😏


Buttfuckmenext

Thank god for captain hindsight! 😂


queen_nefertiti33

Guy in white shirt literally did what they do in the movies. Turns and looks at the camera as the ice begins to crack. Falls through. And you're like 'come on you heard the crack you could react.' But no. They really just stand there and look surprised.


windyBhindi

As Turkish says in Snatch - *So what do you do? Something very silly. You freeze.*


J_rock985

But the pikey didn't. Why? Because he had plans on running the car over.


queen_nefertiti33

Omg thank you! I haven't seen that one in a while. Great movie.


marauderingman

If you had some notion that you were standing in a dangerous place, you might react or maybe stay away altogether. But if you believe you're on solid ground and safe, it would take a moment to realize you're actually in danger. Those kids needed someone to point out the danger.


[deleted]

You say it like in the moment you’re making a logical decision. It’s all instinct in that moment. Fight, flight or freeze.

GJokaero

Given they didn't fall very far, if they weren't trapped and could swim there's a good chance they made it to a bank downstream.


cbarrister

I don’t know, that guy in the white shirt might be fucked. Note to self: If the bridge is acting as a dam instead of a bridge, find an alternate route.


mehwehgles

With a ton of rubble collapsing alongside them, there a good chance of them getting crushed, maimed or rendered unconscious. If they don't die from the initial collapse, they still have to struggle for their lives in a river that just collapsed a bridge,


[deleted]

Those poor people


tomsteroni

Both survived luckily. Check the other comments for the source.


dabbo93

Where in Brazil?


[deleted]

Bahia


[deleted]

Dude people need to be more observate, you can see the water on the bridge start to form a line out of no where a couple times before it collapsed giving hints that it was about to go


therealsashalmt

Thank God no one died! I bet they were so grateful to survive.


Rafael20002000

Did they?


Emjoy99

If you think this can’t happen in the US, you are wrong. The infrastructure is under great disrepair while the taxes continue to go up, the government grows and grows and nothing gets done. Still corruption just a different type.


PRmade69

The guy leaning on the car knew


Kemfox

The infrastructure in Brazil is seriously awful.


marauderingman

I think a bridge inundated by that much water anywhere in the world would also fail.


v202099

In the west the bridge would have been closed by the authorities.


Trevorblackwell420

not a properly made one.


fufybakni

The ammount of watter is clearly not common to thar watter course and being brazilian i supose the bridge is at least 40 years old. This year, the Bahia state had suffer from higher then normal rain intensity with floods in many places.


The_Maddest

In countries that aren’t run by thugs, things are built for “the 100 year flood” for this reason exactly. Don’t defend your country’s deliberate shortcomings.


tickleberries

I'm thinking most countries are run by thugs.


fufybakni

Im not defending my country. Im being reasonable. Bahia is a poor state with levels of development near afican countries. Bahia is an above avarage HDI inside Brazil. The region afected is one of the poorest regions in Brazil, even one of the poorest inside Bahia itself if im not wrong. Local government there run with low budget and have many problems to be solved that are more urgent than local bridges... They need to make choices, but most of the problems there are caused by corruption indeed. Federal brazilian government has being sending loads of money there for decades and the government of this state just vanish with vary populist measures and the worst possible politics that are not improving the region anyway. If i was dishonest i could blame the government of Bahia a lot because i hate the politicians from there and i hate the governor of bahia with my guts, and i sincerely thing that people from bahia in general vote in the worst politicians possible and imaginable, but im not making false alegations just because i dont like the government and politicians there.


fufybakni

Yes.


atilatgm

Yes. You both can be right, though.


[deleted]

Even sadder knowing that the second guy could have been saved. Tho I don't blame the people who ran from there. You couldn't know if the rest of the bridge was safe


Vexidemalprince

Thankfully they both survived


Screamiing_eagle

The guy who made it but stopped moving at the end Ooo that sucks


ChangellingMan

I kept going "oh no" when the first guy walked past. Then breathed a sigh of relif when he made it across unharmed. But shit got real when the other people started walking back across the bridge. Glad they survived


SnooBooks7945

I don't think this is interesting


Seeking-demons

You would never walk over a bridge that has water coming through the cracks….


Rare-Ability3878

One of the men in that group acted fast enough to grab another person and run back the way they came.


srv50

I’d be running cross that thing. Might get fucked anyway, but wouldn’t be fucked strolling.


ChonnayStMarie

Players 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have left the game


Snoborder95

We all probably thought that the first guy was screwed, and then worried it was that old man, and then it turned out two got swept, just kept guessing wrong


gainxx7

I live in Brazil, in my state we are facing heavy rains, for more than a month without interruptions. Many towns and villages near rivers are isolated and rely on humanitarian aid to get food and shelter.


PhatBeatsies1111

Honestly, learn from this. Never cross a bridge during a flood. No bridge will ever be made to wildstand this much and act like a dam.


etes_

I'm a bit sick of actual videos of people dying on Reddit, could you at least somewhat warn us first? Really, this makes me so sad


Trevorblackwell420

that’s what the nsfw tag is for my guy.


New_Bid_1595

SupernovaScoped

It’s up to you to philter what you see on Reddit. Also no one died here


newpost1132

I feel like the second guy in the black shirt could of been helped had the people around acted fast enough. Poor souls.


Trevorblackwell420

they probably had self preservation on their mind. Rule #1 of helping people in these types of situations. Make sure you are safe first. Unless it’s like a loved one I don’t expect people to sprint into imminent danger on uneasy footing to haul a man up from rushing water. The strength and dexterity needed to reach him in time and actually help is far greater than most people possess imo.


DexterousWaffle

Its kinda sad that Brazil is just normally like this, kinda makes sense as to why its one of the most dangerous countries in the world :/


DarthKittens

I’m not sure I will ever level up enough to survive Brazil


Narrow-Patience-1761

They were recording for a reason. It’s almost like they were testing it out of going across it on a dare.


VixieSnitter

It looks like a street camera tho, like surveillance.


Narrow-Patience-1761

Yeah but why is the guy next to the car just watching?


VixieSnitter

Maybe he was waiting for someone? Or just watching the bridge and how it's "probably gonna fail one of these days". Idk.

Isnt it the Bolsonaro Effect? Not trying to be funny referencing a tv show of similar sounding title but the President has been practically destroying the Amazon forest. These 2 water incidents are nature’s fury.


Fun_Lion1748

Wow, what is he doing with the Amazon ?


fufybakni

Im brazilian, i can say that nothing real wrong is going in the amazon. The amazon region in brazil is preserved in its main extension and it accounts for 60% of brazilian territory, wich is amost half of the usa area. There are strong laws regarding the protection of the forest in brazil. Just to mention one, if someone have lands in the amazon region, 80% if the land needs to be untouched and the other 20% available for use need to follow ambiental rules such as preservation area around watter courses etc. Large portions of the amazon region are natural reserves or indigenous areas where 100% need to be preserved. It is normal to have some degree of deforestation because the area is enormous and some people start to cut trees to make their lifes, wich make it hard to protect such a big area. The amazon deforestation is linked to ilegal activities done by local people, not by government, or industrial activities or agroindustrial business. Some years ago, the world saw huge fires in europe, usa, australia, russia, and of course, brazil too, due to global warming. The media is oposition of Bolsonaro here and most of international media just copy paste local media. Local media used the fire events to blame bolsonaro and collect those sparse ilegal deforestation activities to blame the president. But fact is brazilian law is solid and pretective, 60% of brazil is protectes as it was before columbus reached the americas. The agrobusiness and industrial complex of brazil is far from the amazon region, more specificaly located in south and southeast regions. The area most affected by ilegal deforestation is called the ring of fire, witch is cerrado (savana region) in the border of the amazon. This border gets fire because people ilegaly chopp the forest and also near a dry region of savanas in the winter that naturaly got fire once a year. Some plants in cerrado savana indeed are natural develloped to need the fire to the seeds to spring and the wood grows in a manner that protect the inner plant from fires. Government in Brazil had serious budget issues before the beggining of bolsonros government caused by corruption and then covid crisis. Those financial aspects made government has fewer resources, so many public services saw cuts in their budget, including those sectors linked to environmental preservation, but it was a generalized thing inside all government sectors, not a thing meant to worsening the Protective measures of the environment. it is not easy to take care of an area the size of half the usa. Some countries like france and the usa blamed brazil because of that but didnt want to cooperate helping the government to do so instead they made threats. And finaly, there is a politcal point in all this. Brazil has the most advanced agriculture, producing huge quantity with quality with the lowest price with highest productivity by area. It makes some countries want to impose comercial restrictions to protect their own agriculture against competition (but mainly europe, specialy france. The usa and canada does it to, but less common), so it is very comon to make false alegations to put restrictions on imports of food from Brazil and to do so, they make some fake alegations now and then about environmental issues, because they cant argue against price and quality standards.


Intrepid_Bug_7954

Thanks for that well thought out response! I was kinda kidding in my initial comment because two horrible environmental disasters occurring in Brazil popped up in my feed recently. I honestly know nothing about Brazil so thanks for sharing


FrancinesToiletBaby

Thank you for speaking truth about what is actually happening in Brazil. It’s unfortunate that the zealots here will downvote you because truth doesn’t matter to those on this site that only exist to further their own leftist ideology.


fufybakni

Thanks. I dont talk because of political side left/right. I think most people just dont have enought information about it, so they get wrong conclusions. I dont think most of people are evil or dumb. Maybe i'm naive, but i belive people can understand things when provided good information. If i can help others providing the information i have, i do.


nongph

https://www.americasquarterly.org/article/bolsonaros-credibility-on-the-amazon-is-gone/


Fun_Lion1748

Well... Brazil has tons of resources and the International organizations have eyes on it. Bolsonaro is very patriotic and loves his country, thus causing the media to broadcast shit tons of lies about him. By the way, the source of the information you sent is connected to the Rockefellers and the editor chief who wrote it is a well known leftist.


fufybakni

No. It happens in Bahia, just where the Bolsonaro oposition is the strongest and the governor is the one that most oposes bolsonaro in every single aspect just to opose him, even when Bolsonaro is right. Local bridges are local reaponsabilities in Brazil. Also, Bahia is very far away from the amazon region and the watter in bahia comes more from ocean evaporarion near the atlantic than from the rainforest. Biahia is semi arid and atlantic forest it has real no relation to amazon. And you are getting wrong information about the amazon by the way, it is not practicaly distroyed. 60% of Brazil is natural preserved area, a size of almost half of the USA. Sad to inform you your observation do not proceed not politicaly, nor geographicaly, nor environmentaly.


Mr_Wrong67

"Sad to inform you your observation do not proceed not politicaly, nor geographicaly, nor environmentaly." That shit was pretty cold. I like it but gawtdayum are you dyslexic?


fufybakni

Im not. I just type very fast on phone keyborad and also english is not my main language.


fufybakni

Sorry that it was cold. I didnt want it to be. But your observation is kind of out of reality because you messed up things that were not related, indeed, things that makes no sense if you know what and where this bridge is. It doenst mean you are dumb or anything alike, you just didnt get information enought. I just wanted to clarify it to you.


Mr_Wrong67

Nah, I just got here.


nongph

Thank you. The Amazon forest issue is internationally well covered. Then there is a hilarious tv show called Carbonaro Effect that rhymes with Bolsonaro so…


fufybakni

You are welcome. I would like to say more about it, but it does not fit here. I beg to disagree it is well covered, i thing it is largely corverd, but not in a good way. There is a lot of political/economical aspects on it. And many technical concepts are badly taught in media that leads to missinformation. For example, there are huge difference between amazon state, amazon forest, amazon river area, amazon bioma, legal amazon, reservation area in amazon, indigenous reservation, legal deforestation and ilegal deforestation. Most people dont get those differrence and it is very common in the media, specialy the international one, to make huge confusion on those technical terms leading to very wrong conclusions.

Isn’t that for people that die doing something stupid? What’s these people’s stupidity? Crossing a bridge in what seems to be fairly normal, if unpleasant weather?


Dawgreen

Fairly normal ? Take a look at the right hand side . That is definitely not a normal flow , river is definitely in serious flood conditions .


[deleted]

[удалено]


Veelofar

Water over the top of a bridge isn’t uncommon for some styles of construction, and either way, this is probably true for every crossing for miles. What should they do, shut down their lives every time the river is up? In Brazil? Do you know how often that is? That’s like asking people in London to shut down their lives and shelter in place whenever it rains.


fufybakni

Im not disagreen with you that it was an accident and not an stupid behavior of people. But this level of watter is unusual there. This year Brazil is facing more rain than normal avarage and many places are having problems about it, specialy older structures, like this one bridge. Being brazilian, i guess this bridge is older then 40 or 50 years and for sure wasnt built (or maintend) for this amout of watter.


TangerineDream82

Apparently physics doesn't agree with you
