Bridge ripped down and left in flames as UK lashed by heavy downpours
Bystanders have recorded a bridge collapsing and exploding into flames as floods continued to wreak havoc across the north of England on Boxing Day. More than 360 flood alerts are in place across England, Wales and Scotland because of torrential winter rains that have caused huge destruction in the middle of the festive season.
Footage of the bridge collapsing in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester shows the River Irwell frighteningly close to bursting its banks. A small crowd of people watch on, mobile phones ready to record the inevitable moment of collapse, as the bridge buckles under intense pressure from debris and the powerful torrent of brown flood waters. Move, move! yells one man as the pedestrian bridge gives way with a screech of metal, and a yellow ball of fire explodes on the opposite bank, likely the result of a burst gas mains.
The video, uploaded to Ironart Fabrications Facebook page, has been viewed 1.7 million times in just six hours. A 200-year-old pub has also collapsed because of flooding on the Irwell River, and authorities have evacuated residents in close proximity to the waterway . Around 30 of the flood alerts issued across the country have been graded 'severe', meaning danger to life. Met Office forecasters believe the heavy rain should move southwards through the night, leaving drier conditions in northern England.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q. Why should you have a right to use the road, you don't pay Road Tax?
A. Road Tax was abolished in 1937. Roads are paid for by council tax. Car Tax is VED, all vehicles pay this based on emissions unless they produce no emissions, this includes Bicycles and Electric Vehicles (even though electric cars require electricity that causes emissions when it's being produced but you get taxed on electricity separately).
Q. Why are you not using the cycle lane?
A. There could be several reasons for that, there may be grids or potholes or cars in the cycle lane making it unsafe, there may be a bus trying to pass from behind in a shared cycle lane, I may be overtaking, I may be Taking Point in order to make myself obvious to other drivers so they don't cut me up or hook me as they turn, I could be getting in the right lane at a junction. A bicycle does not have to use the cycle lane.
Q. Why do you pull in front of the cars at the lights?
A. Because unless it's unsafe that's what we are supposed to do when there is a ASL Box (Bike Box) on the road.
Q. Why did you take issue with the driver pulling up next to you at the traffic lights?
A. When I get annoyed at drivers doing this it's because when they pass the 1st line they are running a red light and making my space unsafe, it's the same as if I was to pass the second red light.
Q. Why did you get annoyed when that driver overtook you?
A. He was probably too close or overtook at a pinch point or he overtook using part of the lane I was in while I was in the middle of it, other than being illegal I could get clipped or the wind from such a close pass could push me off.
Q.What does ASL / RLJ / RH / LH mean?
A. Advanced Stop Line / Red Light Jumper / Right Hook / Left Hook.
Q. Where I'm from the rules are...
A. The Rules here in the UK can be found on this site:
Q. Why are you such a ******?
A. Because I'm not hurting anyone or intentionally breaking any laws, I can be a ****** if I want :)
Q. You showed my Car/Numberplate/Face in your video without my permission.
A. In the UK anyone has the right to film in public and we have very little statutary privacy, this is shown in the fact that we are constantly monitored by CCTV, unless I caught your credit card pin number then as the copyright holder (the person that takes photos/video automatically becomes the copyright holder in the UK) I have the right to publish my work.
Q. Can I use your video?
A. Depends what you want to use it for, feel free to embed the video using the links on this page but if you want to republish parts then please send me a message and ask!
