Well, this makes Jeremy, James and Richard's efforts look a bit... amateurish.

This is the Fort Steuben Bridge, which once spanned the Ohio River from Steubenville, Ohio to Weirton, West Virginia, getting blown up.

The Ohio Department of Transportation deemed the 83-year-old road bridge beyond financial repair then strapped 153lb of explosives to it.

Is your day brightened , TopGear.commers?
