While reading the Wikipedia article about the Pennsylvania Railroad's Hell Gate Bridge, I stumbled across the reference to it lasting a thousand years if humans vanished tomorrow.

The assertion is made by a man interviewed for a Discover magazine article about what would happen if we suddenly weren't here. It doesn't sound like one of those fringe ecological articles that hopes we're gone; rather, I picked up that it was merely a statement of supposed fact.

Anyways, it's kind of creepy reading what the City of New York would look like as the years ground on. Read the whole thing.
