Description
This week, we're discussing the I-35W bridge collapse that occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota back in 2007. This episode explores the true risk of allowing aging infrastructure to exist in a state of failure. Bridge 9340 was rated structurally deficient in three separate reports, yet was allowed to remain open in its current state, and with continued monitoring. As a result, 13 people lost their lives and another 15 were injured.Show Merch: https://destinationdisaster.company.site/Follow the Show! https://www.instagram.com/destination.disaster/https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinationDisaster/Episode Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridgehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Saint_Anthony_Falls_Bridgehttps://infrastructurereportcard.orgMusic: Cody Martin - Leviathanhttps://app.soundstripe.com/songs/14667 Hosted on Acast.
