A friend posted this on the FacePlace. It's supposedly an airship passing under a bridge in Dallas in the 1930s.

I was born in Dallas on 02/12/1948 and still live in the area and I can't remember ever seeing a bridge like this one.

Yeah, it doesn't really look like Dallas. Were there building that tall in Dallas in the 1930?The architecture strikes me a European architecture. Still, wherever it was taken, it's a cool picture.

No sir. Even now we don't have any buildings that look close to this.

ETA.. we have buildings that tall but nothing like this one.

It's from a movie, isn't it?

Could very well be.

That architecture is impossible - brick and mortar buildings can't be built that tall, and those skybridges would crumble with the first stiff wind. Not to mention the impossibility of navigating an airship in the air currents between those buildings. Not only is it not Dallas, it's not anywhere that has ever existed.

Fertilizer storage explosion. Dallas never had any buildings that tall nor a bridge like that. The ordinance has no fuses, just hi-line rings - pretty safe.

Holy shit!

Is that from 2020?

Yep; that was from summer 2020; ruled an accidental ignition of a crapton of ammonium nitrate stored near the docks. Had a big conversation on another forum about it at the time as one of the active members was originally from Lebanon and had family in the city. It blew out windows and damaged buildings miles from ground zero.

Yep. A .45 ACP round would have left a 50-meter hole in the ocean...
