Even now, that bridge "does not fall."

Tower Bridge is a massive bascule bridge spanning the River Thames, standing alongside the structure famously celebrated in the British nursery rhyme "London Bridge." It was completed in 1894, just before the turn of the 20th century. Originally, it operated using steam engines to pump water through pipes, applying hydraulic pressure to the ends of the lifting sections and utilizing the principle of a seesaw to open and close them (it is now powered by electricity). During the World Wars, it was a constant target for destruction by German forces, suffering air raids by the Luftwaffe and attacks from rocket weapons such as the V-1 and V-2 (in one particular work, a certain deranged, obese character even issued orders to destroy it along with London Bridge). More than a century after its construction, it remains fully operational, with the bridge continuing to open and close according to a set schedule.
