My view as a structural engineer on why the Rotterdam Bridge (de Hef) would be very hard to dismantle for Jeff Bezos's super Yacht.

Mr Jeff Bezos apparently has a yacht that needs to navigate out to sea from Rotterdam. This famous landmark, the Rotterdam Bridge, also known as "de Hef", is getting in the way and has been making the news. So I thought I would wade in with an opinion on why the bridge might be difficult to dismantle, given that I like steel, structures, and am a former Dutchman!

Everything in this video is for entertainment only and should not be construed as actual structural advice. Also those concrete blocks could be ten times heavier... it was a rough estimate from a photo😉
