The odd part
A 43-year-old bridge performs an unprompted vertical transition to become a decorative riverbed feature.
What happened
Just one day ago, the Gambhira bridge in Vadodara realized that 43 years of service was quite enough and decided to collapse into the Mahisagar River. While authorities are busy calling it a 'tragedy,' connoisseurs of Indian bureaucracy recognize it as a bold experiment in 'Self-Dismantling Infrastructure.' The bridge, which was a vital link for the industrial zones of Padra, opted for a career change from 'Transportation Route' to 'Underwater Obstacle Course' without filing the necessary three-week notice.
