What could possibly go wrong with prestressed concrete beams?

“[The beams] are longer than the iconic Cinderella’s castle in Walt Disney World”

Is THAT the new standard of measure that everybody should know?

It used to be the Statue of Liberty or Washington’s Monument.

Sheesh...Cinderella’s castle at Wally World? Give me break. Is this written for 6 year old girls?

YAWN, These are nothing new, I cast 200 ft beams for highway bridges in Bangladesh, of all places, 40 years ago and they are still in service.
