The 11 Foot 8 Bridge, also known as 'The Can Opener,' refers to a railroad overpass in Durham, North Carolina, notorious for peeling the roofs off overheight trucks. Since 2008, local resident Jürgen Henn has recorded hundreds of collisions, turning the bridge into a viral sensation through his dedicated website and YouTube channel. In internet culture, the bridge serves as a metaphor for inevitable disaster or the consequences of ignoring clear warning signs. Users typically label the truck as an overconfident person or plan and the bridge as a harsh reality check or a looming obstacle that refuses to budge, highlighting the humor in avoidable yet repetitive failures.
