Piss weak Bridge ready to colapse

A LANDMARK bridge on Indonesia's Sumatra island may collapse because too many people are fond of urinating on one of its steel pillars.

The Jakarta Post said experts had found the Ampera bridge in Palembang city, the capital of South Sumatra province, had begun to lean at an angle and rocked slightly when traffic was heavy.

An official at the public works department in Palembang, Azmi Lakoni, was quoted as saying the bridge had deteriorated because people often took a leak on one of its piers, corroding the structure.

"We are concerned that one of its main support piers has been weakened by urine, as it is a popular spot for locals to relieve themselves."

He added that the acidic fluid's corrosive forces could attribute to an eventual collapse of the bridge.

Man. That bridge is piss weak...
