卡车和公共汽车试图从桥下钻进去，但马上就后悔了

The Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass is commonly known as the 11-foot-8 Bridge and... The Can Opener. This railroad bridge in Durham, North Carolina, was built in 1940 and allows passenger and freight trains to cross over South Gregson Street in downtown Durham and like its first nickname suggests, its clearance for vehicles was 11 feet 8 inches (3.56 m). This was a standard height at the time it opened. But the standard clearance since 1973 has a minimum height of 14 feet (4.27 m).

诺福克南格莱森街立交桥通常被称为11英尺8英寸桥和…开罐器。北卡罗来纳州达勒姆这铁路桥,建于1940年,允许旅客和货运列车穿过南练习刀功街首次在杜伦大学和市中心的绰号一样,其间隙车辆11英尺8英寸(3.56米),这是一个标准的高度时打开。但自1973年以来的标准净空高度最低为14英尺(4.27米)。

Despite numerous warning signs yelling just how low the clearance of this bridge was, a large number of trucks, buses, and RVs have collided with the overpass at high speed, tearing off roof fixtures, and at times shearing off the trucks' roofs. That's what earned the bridge its second nickname, The Can Opener. Some people even call it the "Gregson Street Guillotine". In October 2019, the North Carolina Railroad Company, which owns the bridge and tracks, raised the bridge by 8 inches (0.2 m) to 12 feet 4 inches (3.76 m) to reduce collisions.

尽管有许多警告标志显示这座桥的距离有多低，大量卡车、巴士和房车还是高速撞上了立交桥，掀掉了车顶固定装置，有时还掀掉了卡车的车顶。这也为这座桥赢得了第二个绰号:开罐器。有些人甚至称之为“葛莱森断头台”。2019年10月，拥有该桥和铁轨的北卡罗来纳铁路公司将该桥提高了8英寸(0.2米)至12英尺4英寸(3.76米)，以减少碰撞。

The bridge gained fame in 2008, when a nearby office worker, Jürgen Henn, set up cameras to track the collisions with the bridge. As of October 2020, Henn has recorded over 150 accidents, and has a YouTube channel to showcase them. His project even expanded to other Internet platforms. Thus, the subreddit r/11foot8 was born.

2008年，附近一位名叫于尔根·亨的办公室职员在桥上安装了摄像机，以记录与桥的碰撞，这座桥因此声名鹊起。截至2020年10月，Henn已经记录了150多起事故，并在YouTube上有一个频道来展示它们。他的项目甚至扩展到了其他互联网平台。reddit的r/11foot8就这样诞生了。

Eventually, however, the subreddit evolved—it now features vehicles colliding with structures all over the world. Here are some of its top posts.
