The historic bridge will be broken for Bezos's superyacht: the decision to break the bridge during the Second World War in the Netherlands, people protested

The historic Koninghaven Bridge in the Netherlands will be demolished to give way to the world's giant e-commerce company Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' superyacht. Located in the city of Rotterdam, this bridge was built in 1878. It was destroyed by bombing by the Nazis during the Second World War, after which it was rebuilt. However, the bridge will be demolished only temporarily.

 

Bezos's 40-meter high yacht worth Rs 3 thousand 630 crores will not be able to pass under the bridge. Because of this, the middle section of the steel-girdered bridge will be removed. The mayor of Rotterdam told - this is the only way to the sea and whatever cost it will cost to remove this bridge, Bezos will also pay for it. However, many people are also opposing the demolition of this bridge.

 

The bridge was part of the Second World War

 

Because of this bridge being a part of the Second World War, people have an emotional connection with it. The construction done on this bridge in 2017 had created a lot of anger among the people when the municipal corporation had promised that no damage would be allowed to the bridge again.

 

According to Dutch media, the municipal corporation has said that the construction that will be done to give way to Bezos's boat will not only benefit financially but will also create new jobs. After the yacht passes, the bridge will be made back as before.

 

Bezos is known for his unique lifestyle

 

Jeff Bezos, the second richest person in the world, is known for his unique lifestyle. Last year, he also traveled to space on the first passenger flight of his space company Blue Origin. He spent about 10 minutes in space outside Earth. Three more people also went on space travel with him. It also included his brother Mark Bezos.
