From: Mike Cornell <cornells@zoominternet.net>Sender: kayaking-129-announce@meetup.comAnnouncing a new Meetup for Pittsburgh Kayakers (ka-"yack"-ers)!
What: Tsunami!
When: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 9:00 AM
Where: Allegheny River, Harmarville
What happens when a huge bridge falls 100' into a river? Tsunami! Gather up your nerve and your sense of adventure for an all-new way to experience a dynamite-packed implosion. Tuesday July 13, the the old PA Turnpike bridge at Harmarville will drop into the Allegheny River like a sack of potatoes, and we'll be there, bobbing on the water, 1000' away, watching it go down!
Bring food and drink, noisemakers, video cameras, marine radios & police scanners, flags, crazy hats, Frisbees & beach balls; it's a goofy event, so come prepared!
We'll launch from Oakmont or Harmarville, no more than a mile away, and then hang out on the river, waiting for the big moment. When will that moment be? I don't know yet, but I assume that the Turnpike will be closed during the implosion, and all Turnpike closures are publicized in advance. Probably mid-day; for safety, they wouldn't do it at night, and they'll probably avoid rush hours. I'll update the listing as I get more information.
Thrills! Spills! Mayhem! Destruction! Isn't THAT worth a day off work?
