Ice Tears Away Niagara Falls Bridge
This twisted mass of steel girders among mountainous blocks of Ice is all that remains of the 40-year-old
Falls View International bridge which collapsed into the Ice-filled gorge below Niagara falls after resisting
an ice jam for 24 hours. This view of the famed “honeymoon bridge” was made from the American side. The
noise of the crash of the 4,500,000-pound structure blotted out for a moment the roar of Niagara falls, 500
yards upstream. Thousands of spectators watched as the girders buckled. Workmen who had been sent into
the gorge to strengthen the bridge’s supports narrowly escaped death when the crash came.
