    The image shows a close-up of a bridge bearing assembly, specifically what appears to be a pot bearing or seismic isolation bearing mounted between a concrete pier/abutment and a steel bridge girder. The bearing consists of a cylindrical elastomeric or mechanical core sandwiched between upper and lower steel plates secured with bolts. Some surface rust is visible on the hardware, suggesting the structure has been in service for some time.

    The nylon tape section of a Barrier Arresting Kit retracts back into the cable shack during a BAK certification at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Sept. 24, 2021. During engagement with the aircraft, the tape unwinds from the reel, creating a rotational force and building hydraulic pressure that slows the aircraft, bringing it to a stop.
