| Description: | The last of 150 year old bridge constructed of giant blocks of Portland stone and solid enough to stand for centuries, but too narrow for today's traffic, so it had to go. Dorset. Various shots of the bridge with people walking about on it. "And this is how it went." Various shots as big stone squares are dropped and knock the bricks out of the bridge into the river. "And in slow motion." Slow motion M/S as the stone falls on the arch causing the structure to fall into the river, various shots and as whole arch collapses causing a big splash. | |
