"Love Locks" Collapse Paris Bridge
Saw an interesting article about the locks weighing down on the bridge. Never thought about the weight.

They have locks on several of the bridges... I've read about the weight before... I'm sure they won't be able to completely stop it, especially with vendors selling locks on the street.

True. Selling locks on the street to tourists.... now theres and idea for backpackers to make a little extra money each day. Find an untouched bridge or area of the city and start another trendy spot for lovers to show their love for one another and add their own lock  .

I think I saw 3 or 4 bridges with locks on them. It was like 2 or 3 Euros for a lock I believe. Not a bad gig for selling some dollar store cheap lock.
