  Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s the same bridge. It’s kinda internet famous. They raised the bridge a little since that video, but it still peels the tops off of trucks.

    I don’t think it is right? The environment looks completely different and the one in the post is 12", which the 11"8 (or now 12"4) never was.

    No they are not the same bridge. Notice one is 12’ 0’’ and the other is the famous 11’8’’

  That’s 11’8", probably the most famous can opener there is. Although they recently raised the bridge height to make it line up better or something, which resulted in it becoming 12’4". It’s still opens a few cans sometimes though.
