The internet is hard to resist.  I spend a lot of time on You Tube, Wikipedia, and Google Maps.  I get deep into things like the Kilauea eruption in Leilani Estates that started May 3 2018.  Several people most notably ApauHawaiiTours documented the destruction day by day.  It was fascinating, impressive, horrifying, and very sad at the same time.

Whenever I read about an event I go to Google maps and find the location and do a virtual drive or walk or walk around.  Sometimes I have to remember if I was actually there or saw it on Google.  I do this a lot with train videos and live cams.  I wish there was a way to highlight the railroad lines on the map view.

One thing I followed was a live cam of the bridge replacement in Glenwood Springs, CO.  The road bridge goes over Interstate 70, the Colorado River, Amtrak and a city street.  During demolition of the old bridge there was a whoops moment where several large girders dropped onto the tracks.  Look at Portion of Grand Avenue Bridge Falls Onto Railroad Tracks on You Tube.
