The first bridge to be broken. Justin Murphy is our operator this year. Here he is breaking the first bridge.
 
The first place bridge. This bridge took overall 1st place.
 
The audience looks on with interest. Parents, students & teachers look on.
 
This bridge's deflection was greater than the breaking apparatus could handle. This bridge deflected more than the original apparatus setup could handle.
 
Adjustments made to the apparatus were not sufficient to break the bridge. Drastic measures were taken to complete the job (Okay, so Murphy broke it over his knee). The apparatus was adjusted to accommodate a greater deflection - the apparatus failed. Drastic measures were taken to break this bridge (Okay, so he broke it over his knee-that's drastic).
