Removing love locks from bridges

In many cities it's become a tourist tradition for lovers to buy cheap padlocks, scratch their initials in them, and then attach them to bridges. But a lot of old bridges weren't built to withstand the weight of so many locks. In 2014 the Des Arts bridge in Paris collapsed from the weight of padlocks people attached to it. Now it's against the rules to put padlocks on bridges. In this video, the folks at Honest Guide (A YouTube channel about Prague for tourists) got a bunch of bolt cutters and an angle grinder and went to work removing love locks, inviting others to share in the merriment.
