Popular nursery rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’ appears to have taken a whole new meaning after the Tower Bridge in the capital of England was stuck open for over an hour.
Several pictures of the bridge’s two arms pointing upwards at different angles have gone viral on social media, prompting hilarious reactions among netizens. According to The Guardian, the mechanical fault caused huge traffic jams in London.
The bridge was fixed in about an hours time, read a following tweet by the police department.
While many tweeted about the inconvenience they faced due to the bridge closure, others found the incident rather amusing. Some also tweeted the famous children’s rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’, even though it was the Tower bridge and not the former.
