New York bridge gets stuck open after getting too hot

Third Avenue Bridge, which connects New York's the Bronx to Manhattan, got stuck in an open position due to the high heat on Monday.

FDNY officers arrived in boats and fired water at the structure to try and cool down the metal, which expanded after high temperatures in the city, officials say.

The incident caused major traffic delays during one of the hottest days of the year in New York but reopened on the same day.

Is official. 2024 is using early 2000 blockbusters movie's plots now. What a bunch of lazy screenwriters.

Not the same damage, nor the same cause.

Not the same Sun?

Not the same solar heat ray focused entirely on one bridge.
