Is anyone monitoring this? Is there a current thread related?

The "inspectors" reports - who is looking at them?

Good thing they don't have freeze-thaw to contend with...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Blooongeey:
They make all their money off of gambling out there, so why not a little gamble on the structural adequacy of their monorail too. What fun would a ride on the monorail be if there wasn’t some risk to life and limb?

Hehehehehehe... You expect that type of failure in third world countries...

Is there a chance the track could bend..?

 

[kingnero]

Rail steel typically is pearlitic, so no, they don't bend. They certainly bend the rules though, that corbel doesn't look like it's conforming to the specs...

I need to start watching that show again...(I'm embarrassed to say I had to look that up.)
