A video going viral at the moment caught the moment a road buckles.
CAR CATCHES AIR: A car went airborne in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, after a road buckled due to a heatwave on Sunday.

Best comment: “And that son, is how a speed bump is born”:
The backstory is at the Byte. Temperatures at Cape Girardeau, Missouri reached 91.9F or a not-so-scorching 33 C.
This is, I hear, a thing that happens in concrete roads designed to cope with the cold, rather than soft, flexible asphalt used in Arizona or Australia.
h/t David E
Concrete roads are supposed to have expansion joints, doesn’t normally happen, someone forgot!
80
Correct. Concrete is used for roads where I live in Texas, and temperatures routinely hit 40 C every summer – for many days in a row as well. . .
110
Continuously cast and reinforced concrete roads as for example much of the Hume Freeway between Melbournistan and Sydneystatan do not need many expansion joints. As I understand it, they have a relatively high level of steel reinforcement. They will still expand in the heat, of course, and will crack but the cracks are not detrimental or visible and are kept together by the reinforcement and concrete aggregate. In fact, the cracks themselves accommodate the expansion and their natural development is essential.
And continuous railway tracks don’t need many expansion joints either as they are pretensioned to safely allow expansion to the highest expected temperature without buckling.
150
Concrete can be installed without expansion joints, AS3600 will even prescribe HOW to do it. But I’ve never the concrete cast pretensioned. You can pretension the steel, (which places the concrete in compression post curing), but I’m damned if I know how you could pretension a liquid. You certainly can’t pre load the steel to be in compression before the casting. It would be like pushing with a string.
If you look at the video, the soil raises beside the road too.
I’d say the cause is a burst water main. The water will be up any minute. If only we had a longer video.
60
Yes, it certainly isn’t heat related, as you say, good chance of burst water main.
40
I’d say poor foundation. I didn’t see broken surface, but surely it would be. And a bump like that can’t last long.
A level road may bear the weight of a truck. But once the surface is deformed that greatly increases the load on the road as the suspension hammers it..
I read once that even horse drawn wagons make corrugations in the road.

A staple radio tune from my youth by Third World still does the rounds occasionally on the airwaves here. Always thought it was about one of New York’s regular heatwaves which came and went with the seasons, but no, ‘twas a protest song about Paul Bogle, a Jamaican Baptist deacon hung by the UK authorities for demanding fair treatment for all inhabitants of that lush Caribbean island in 1865.
The above clip is from a 21st century re-union of the band, whose natty dreadlocks would still scare the daylights out of the pompous twats in Whitehall by the Thames reminiscing about their Once Great Britain.
NB. 96*F is 35*C, a lovely day in paradise.

“New Revelations Completely Blow Up Corporate Media Narrative Regarding U.S. Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites – President Trump Issues Spicy Response (VIDEO)”

“Don’t Believe the Media’s LIES: Here’s Why Iran’s Nuke Program Is Almost Certainly Sayonara.”

“The truth is out there somewhere, somewhere”

Trumps claim of complete obliteration is unfounded but alas this is typical of his self delusions of grandeur. The bombs dropped have a rated 60 meter penetration depth so lets double that and say they can pen up to 120 meters and then they go bang. The Iranian nuclear program is a lot deeper than that so everyone doubts any damage was caused to the sites apart from shifted a few ton of sand around.
Lets take a closer look at what Trump actually achieved.
A bit of history on the subject
Iran had enriched uranium up to 60%, we know this based on the history of the IAEA inspections described below, the west + Iran were supposed to meet in QATAR in two weeks time to negotiate with Iran to hand the 60% over to the IAEA, that meeting never happened because Israel in concert with the US bombed Iran. This attack was never about the uranium it was about regime change which of course failed as it always does.
FEB 2003, Iran officially acknowledged its nuclear facilities and granted IAEA inspectors to access the Natanz enrichment site following revelations of undeclared activities.
JUN 2003 Iran pledged full IAEA cooperation and agreed to sign the Additional Protocol allowing short notice inspections.
Enhanced access and JCPOA Phase 2007-2015 from 2007 onward the IAEA conducted several annual inspections at Natanz Fordow and Arak sites
2015 JCPOA Iran implemented the additional protocol and allowed daily access to enrichment plants and managed visits to other sites, IAEA confirms Iran are in full compliance in 2015
2018 Trump withdraws from the JPCOA, from this point to 2022 IAEA access reduces and surveillance cameras are removed however IAEA still had regular access to the nuclear facilities.
13 JUN 2025 Israel attacks Iran and Iran naturally pauses all IAEA access.
Up until this point the USA and others knew with a high level of confidence the location and extent of Irans enrichment program but now they are blind they dont know where Iran has stored the uranium or where the centrifuges are.
Regardless of what Trump says we know the following are facts:
1, Enriched uranium is not destroyed
2, Centrifuges are in tact
3, Secret sites not hit
It is now obvious to Iran and everyone else the west used the IAEA as an intelligence gathering tool so trump has accomplished nothing, we now dont know where the uranium is and many non western countries will never trust the IAEA again.
As an aside Israel has a uranium enrichment plant at Dimona, Israel reportedly has the 4th largest nuclear arsenal on the planet, Israel refuses to sign the NNPT and Israel has never given the IAEA access to inspect any sites, Israel also have the samson protocol where they will launch every nuke they have if invaded/defeated by another country. These facts do not bother the Israeli fan boi club on this site.
This information came from Larry C Johnson at sonar21.com the site is well worth the visit.

Its of no consequence, more importantly it encourages regime change and do away with a festering sore. Cutting off the head of a snake is strategically clever.
The NATO chief thinks the POTUS is OK and Europe is prepared to step up spending against the Russian fascists.
‘The US president, while en route, published a screenshot of a private message from Rutte saying: “Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done.”
“Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win,” Rutte wrote. NATO confirmed that he sent the message.’ (9 News)
17
I have had about enough with metaphors about snakes and heads lets just call it what it is, state sponsored assassination and terrorism which all sides are guilty of.
I don’t think Russia are considered a fascist state but hey call them what ever you want and that (little bit too much staged) text message is their to stoke trumps ego, Putin et al must piss him off when they say GFY Donald LOL.
27
‘ … to stoke trumps ego …’
That is not entirely correct. The geopolitical implications Rutte expressed, reading between the lines, the Russians have nothing to match the US Alliance.
In a military sense Putin is cornered, old equipment and a million men slaughtered on the battlefield, he will have to sue for peace. That might not happen before Beijing announces that Xi Jinping has retired and replaced by West leaning politicians.
What is happening in Gaza is inhumane, we can agree on that.

“The truth is out there somewhere, somewhere”
Ah, but WHO’s truth? Its tempting to say that these days anything is true to someone, and everyone’s truth is equal, but I am quite sure nothing has changed and the ‘facts’ that people swear are true from the mid-1850s onwards are just propaganda by the people who control the news, just like today.
I wouldn’t expect anyone’s truth to include Russia losing a million men in Ukraine, or Russia having old equipment, or Russia having to use shovels to kill Ukies in the trenches, or Russia looting washing machines to steal the electronic boards inside… but apparently there are people like that. Certainly anyone who only believes what they see on TV in the West would be included…
50
At least we in the West get a chance to see outside the misinformation bubble, if we are interested.
We are in the midst of an information war and the MSM is failing to communicate with the masses. With the advance of AI, journalism schools might become redundant.

00
Your opinion of russian military equipment is hopelessly incorrect and whats happening in Gaza is genocide not inhuman there is not much we agree in unfortunately.
22
It is the Iranians who are calling for genocide.
20
It looks like genocide, they have never supported the two state idea.
Ukraine has held the Russians off for over three years, sometimes you have to let them fight it out until one becomes exhausted. With all the kids in the playground backing the underdog, the bully cannot win.
00
Israel intelligence say otherwise, according to AXIOS news service.
I wouldn’t trust Trump hating media and leaked preliminary reports designed to discredit him and his team. It won’t be known of the full damage at Fordow because of the deep nature of the site.

Q1, how deep are the Iranian bunkers
Q2, how deep can a bunker buster travel assuming it travels in a straight path which it won’t

This video captures an improbable event — an actual road buckling in real time just as a car uses it like a jump ramp — but the phenomenon of roads and other infrastructure buckling due to heat is a widespread issue.
Wisconsin officials are warning motorists to look out for adverse driving conditions after they registered over 50 roads buckling due to the intense heat. South Dakota, Colorado, Nebraska and Alabama have also reported buckling roads.
For any roadway engineers out there, this is par the course; asphalt tends to soften around 120 degrees, and coupled with a heat island effect, you’re gonna get a lot of janky streets.
Speaking of infrastructure, the power grid is barely holding up or blacking out in parts of the country — including New York City — in the throes of the heat dome.

There is a push from the Labor Government to introduce a sugar tax.
It’s not for your health of course, they don’t care about that.
It’s just about the Left’s ongoing war against everything that is pleasurable or fun, especially for non-Elites. Plus revenue from other pleasure taxes like tobacco is down. (Not that I recommend smoking either, but it’s a personal choice.)
And why do you think the Government banned vaping (with nicotine)? Not for anyone’s health as claimed. It’s undeniably less bad than smoking. But because it was too hard to tax. They would rather people smoke and pay high taxes, which also impoverishes working people. And then die prematurely.
I don’t think sugar or tobacco are healthy (but OK in moderation), but neither do I believe Government should be involved in your dietary choices.
Plus Australia also has some of the highest alcohol taxes in the world.
I find it embarrassing when I greet guests from overseas and have to explain our bizarre alcohol and cigarette taxes.
42
David,
We consume far too much sugar in our diets the result of this is driving an obesity epidemic which in turns drives a diabetes epidemic, kidney failure, fatty liver disease, poor circulation leading to leg amputations, high blood pressure, blindness, sleep apnoea and the list goes on and on, something needs to be done.
Unfortunately our politicians only have one trick in their bag (too lazy and stupid to have more) all they can do is tax the hell out of a product, they would be far better launching an education program alerting people to the dangers of sugar consumption its the same thing with Vitamin D no one is educated so no one knows they are most likely deficient.
Slapping a tax on something means they can say “see we did something about that problem” and the bonus is they also get to generate copious amounts of lovely money to fill the coffers. The black market surge in illegal tobacco products post cigarette tax hikes should have served as a lesson to these fools but it wont.

It was a dumb idea from the start, increasing tax leads to fallen revenue.

Well, the answer to all those problems is simple, get the Govt out of health completely! Let the private sector look after us with doctors and hospitals and insurance companies, and let people make their own decisions about their own bodies.
The current situation is just an excuse for Govt to invade more and more of our lives and take control of more areas. How about Govt control of the breakfast cereal market, so you have cheap Govt cereals that are often unavailable, of poor quality and are actually very expensive but the cost is hidden in taxes. Of course there are private breakfast cereals on the shelf all the time, but with Govt cornering the bottom & middle markets the private companies only cater to the rich. That’s what we have in Health, right now.

UK Labour Government just announced procurement of 12 additional F-35 Lightning stealth jet fighters, the announcement included capable of carrying nuclear weapons which must be media addition to story.
Australia’s Labor Government cancelled the order for 30 additional F-35 Lightnings last term in office and cancelled weapons system funding for the Boeing Australia designed and built full size jet fighter drone aircraft that was the extension to Joint Strike Fighter Programme that developed F-35 in the US, Loyal Wingman Project force multiplier to fly alongside crewed aircraft and named by RAAF Ghost Bat MQ-28 Ghost Bat.

‘The first of 28 new F-35 stealth fighters that were previously canceled by the incumbent government in Canberra could be delivered to the Royal Australian Air Force as soon as 2029, should Australia go ahead with the order, according to an executive with plane maker Lockheed Martin.’ (Breaking Defence)
Dutton went to the election with this in mind, but it might be best to wait until China throws off the shackles of Communism. This time next year we won’t need the F-35.

Australia might get lucky again, 🙂 but I was in favour of cancelling the last tranche because the F-35 is so good we don’t need them. We could spend that money on Loyal Wingman or similar.

Did AI almost cause WW3?
Recall that the Covid fiasco went into overdrive when Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London generated a wildly incorrect estimate of the fatality rate of the virus from China.
It’s awesome and terrifying once you add it all up. Bad models and bad data created a killer pandemic of uncertain gravity that was later supposedly solved by shots tested with bad data and whose efficacy was further demonstrated by awful models and data.
As DD Geo-politics reported, “since 2015, the IAEA has relied on Palantir’s Mosaic platform, a $50-million AI system that sifts through millions of data points — satellite imagery, social media, personnel logs — to predict nuclear threats.”
The US strikes followed a few days later, with the launching of bunker-buster bomb attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz), marking the first-ever US attack on another country’s nuclear program. The problem: it was all based on modeling and sketchy data, strangely reminiscent of the Covid experience.
