The Tower Bridge in London is a tourist attraction, and it carries tons of traffic over the River Thames -more than 20,000 vehicles a day. It is also a drawbridge that lifts up when a tall boat goes beneath, due to an old law that says river traffic has the right-of-way. Recently, Tom Scott had the opportunity to participate in lifting the bridge for a boat. I don't know how long ago that was, but on the day he uploaded the video, Tower Bridge became stuck open in its upright position and traffic is currently a mess.
honestly, you let @tomscott press a couple of buttons and all hell let's loose.

Reminds me of time I picked up a Blanchard Sr. ( 1944 27' Sloop) through the Fremont Bridge (Seattle) as soon as it would open (8:30 A.M.? 9?) on a Friday morning just before 3 day week end.
Was not most popular person at tail end of rush Hour.
His videos are always interesting even when the topic isn't.
