On 15 December 1967, the Silver Bridge between Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and Kanauga, Ohio, collapsed during the evening rush hour. In less than 20 seconds, its suspended spans fell into the Ohio River, taking dozens of vehicles with them and killing 46 people. The investigation traced the catastrophe to a tiny, concealed crack in a single steel eyebar, exposing a critical weakness in the bridge's design. Discover how the bridge was built, why inspections failed to reveal the danger and how the disaster transformed bridge safety across the United States.
