How it feels

This Danish newsreel from 1938 shows three events. First, a Russian steamship with a heavy list arrives in port after stormy weather. Then a viaduct in Copenhagen is moved eight meters but the work is delayed by a cracked bridge pillar. The reel ends with a packed indoor tennis match.

What happens

Ugerevy 1938/50 er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1938. 1) Havarist i havn: Den russiske damper "Arcos" fik på sin rejse fra Arkangelsk til København svær slagside i det stormfulde vejr. 2) Viadukt flyttes: Viadukten over Peter Bangsvej på Frederiksberg er blevet flyttet 8 meter. Under arbejdet revnede en af bropillerne, og arbejdet blev forsinket i flere timer. 3) Indendørs tenniskamp med fulde tilskuerpladser. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
