a bridge pier on the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway in Tampa
- Role: turning point
- In the video: Offered as a case of deep foundations failing: a pier sank 11 feet during construction because of complicated geology. The narrator says it cost 90 million dollars to fix and delayed completion by a year.
- Why it matters: It is the video’s concrete example that piles can fail, but it is a single illustrative sentence cluster rather than a place the video dwells on.
