the water's like "AND TAKE BACK YOUR DAMN PIPE"
-
That's why you need a post 10 in every town unclogging pipes and drains.
-
Interesting others here know of Post 10. Also that road looks fairly fresh. I wonder if things were improperly designed or installed.
-
If only Post 10 had have been there a week earlier this may have not happened. His hobby is making sure that culverts are clear and in good working order. Most of the DOTs in New England should write him a check for all of the free work he's done. Let's go Rake!

i love how the pipe just rose up like “it was me guys” and post 10 is laughing somewhere
-
And this why Post10 is amazing for calling everyone he could think of when he witnessed a culvert collapsing under a super busy highway on/off ramp. Post10 actually investigates, while that stuffy old engineer that belittled him sits in his cozy, clean, dry office and rambles about theoretical stuff. I know who I'd trust to make sure my local drainage system actually works.

I always wondered what caused roads in mountains to collapse like that. Thanks for showing this
-
I enjoyed hearing about this via a Post 10 video today. I live in Southern California where water is a big deal. The Kern River cuts through town. And we have has some big washout.
-
3:51 imagine hearing that noise just to see a man rising up from the ground on top of the pipe saying "this is a job for post 10"

2:48 Tree: "Ight Imma Head Out"

That road is still usable. Just put a ramp on each side with a mandatory minimum speed limit of 100 MPH. Simple. 🤷
-
POST10 would never have let this happen!!! Our hero!!
-
Road: "Here's a culvert so you can go underneath" River: "No 🙂"
-
Saw this same thing a couple years ago when the remnants of Tropical Storms Lee and Irene passed through upstate NY. The culvert, guardrails, and about 300' of pavement were less than a year old. And away it went. Just west of Mariaville Lake, to be exact.
-
a vivid example of the power of flowing water. the lesson learned is that bridge inspection is paramount. thank goodness no one was hurt in this.
-
Love how we’re all here from post 10 👌
-
water:have abilitiy to destroy roads. also water: cant destroy some hair in the sink
-
This is what they meant when they said: road work ahead? Well, I sure hope it does! I remember being 8 years old and this was an "unrealistic" fear of mine, my parents would tell me "oh that's impossible, there's nothing to worry about"
-
Wow I can't believe I found this clip in my recommended section today. I remember my third-grade computer science teacher use this clip as an example to demonstrate how to insert a video into PowerPoint. Good old memories.
