The Silver Bridge disaster

[79tazman]

The Mothman did it

[27brian81richard]

[Lukelr]

Mothman exists. Many people have seen him, and have certainly not been on acid.

[importednascar]

interesting.

[whangie1]

This gave me the creeps for some reason.

[rinehartproductions]

Fantastic video. I enjoyed and learned a lot. Thank you.

[oscillatin]

wasnt the mothman the cause of the disaster?

[binigo1]

@oscillatin no he just warned them about what was going to happen.

[oscillatin]

@binigo1 oh thts rite

[theripper32694]

@oscillatin

The Mothman isn't real, the people who saw him were on Acid.

[oscillatin]

@theripper32694 how u kno tht

[DocCracker]

[quan13ism]

the mouthman was said to be there trying to warn them people on the bridge

[kewlbanana2]

@quan13ism I think you mean "Mothman"

[RobloxAd]

Mothman made it break

[WitnessMySk8inPower]

one person was on that bridge when it collapsed

[crowleysridgegirl]

@WitnessMySk8inPower Where did you come up with THAT? The records are plain as to how many vehicles were on the bridge,and,how many survivors vs how many died.Google it.

[CarlosBcn1989]

RIP

[mengle2004]

I just saw the Mothman...no just an old dude.

[Fpockets]

In this video they Said 46 died but in the movie 36 died and number 37 was saved.

[eric30084]

@Fpockets 46 people died. There were 37 vehicles on it during the collapse.

[Fpockets]

@eric30084 well figures. movies are never accurate, just dramatic.

[ilmasish]

@eric30084 no no no there were 37 vehicles during the collapse but 36 of them died ;)

[eric30084]

@ilmasish yes yes yes. I quote: "On December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed while it was full of rush-hour traffic, resulting in the injury of 9 people and the deaths of 46 people."

Read up on a subject before you correct someone.

[ilmasish]

@eric30084 dude i wase just correcting your line dont geth other shit out here

[UnwantedStudios3]

lol i lived in st marys, the very base of the old bridge is still there

[LazerFlash13]

What does Mothman have to do with anything of the accident?

[unoalice333]

@LazerFlash13 watch 'mothman prophesies'

[SheridansBurger16]

[TheDigitalEclipse]

''It was a wonderful time to be a youg american boy'' in 1928? For you rich kids maybe. But uhoh! 1929 will soon get you poor again!

[Bonbondoodle]

The Golden Gate Bridge's dislexic cousin :(

[37zeus37]

@Bonbondoodle

dyslexic not dislexic - you muppet

[Bonbondoodle]

@37zeus37 Sorry, mistakes happen.

[27brian81richard]

@Bonbondoodle Never know other bridges can read and write twat.

[Bonbondoodle]

@27brian81richard You'd be surprised.

[trje246]

oookkkkkkaaayyyy....

did i miss something? so why did it fail?

[rkhilburn]

@trje246 Broken stay bolt.

[trje246]

@rkhilburn cheers!

[crowleysridgegirl]

@rkhilburn If you will watch all of these videos through,1-4,you will see that no,it wasn't a broken bolt.It was a cracked EYEBAR.

[YumboYakemoto]

@crowleysridgegirl people say it was a mothman on lost tapes but i doupt that bigtime

[crowleysridgegirl]

@YumboYakemoto well,that's good,because,there was a very obvious structural failure of one of the eyebars that caused the bridge to collapse.Watch the OU videos.They explain it in detail.

[mulder1021]

lets just say they make better booze than bridges ...

[riptorn311]

LMAO @ all this Mothman stuff. I'm sure you believe in astrology and alchemy as well....

[guthzammysara]

@riptorn311

I bet you're a silly Christian. :P

[riptorn311]

@guthzammysara LMAO...Too many silly Christians where I live to begin with.

[billybatson55]

@riptorn311

douchebag

1 alchemy lead to modern science

2. astrology in some cases does predict cosmological events

3. stfu and read a book before you type retarded comments on youtube

[riptorn311]

@billybatson55 LMAO!!! U mad?

1. Modern science does not resemble alchemy in any way. While alchemy did lead into chemistry, alchemy (the transmutation of metals) has been throughly debunked.

2. If astrology only predicts some cases then it is not reliable. Besides, astrology, or the general practice of, deals with the celestial bodies having some effect on humans state of affairs. SUPERSTITION..

3. See above #1..

4. LOLOLOLOLOLOL @ justifying astrology...You made Dion Warwick proud...

[Dman761]

this is boring

[crowleysridgegirl]

@Dman761 Not if you are from this area and lived through this tragedy and lost friends or loved ones,it isn't.

[Dman761]

@crowleysridgegirl i'm not talking about the actual event, just this documentary.

[crowleysridgegirl]

@Dman761 PS you might want to view the other 2 parts to the documentary,there are more actual stories from people that give it more reality than technical feeling.

[crowleysridgegirl]

@crowleysridgegirl I thought it was good.I actually gleaned a lot of information from this documentary even if no one else did.I emailed it to Point Pleasant River Museum and the staff commented on how well it was done.Whatever.

[01tnql]

the mothman was a big troublemaker

[samdietiker]

mothman tried to warn the people about the bridge so dont be dissin

[crowleysridgegirl]

@samdietiker IT fell because: of a defect in one of the eyebars.Don't be ridiculous.

[crazymonkey81100]

the moth man did cause the disaster and i am not dissin mothman he is my favorite monster.

[dragonfor21]

[tserrof2308]

[himfan2215]

Screw you mothman!!

[jade4884]

@himfan2215 Mothman didn't make it fall,he shows up at disasters,you know,like a sign.Don't be dissn' mothman!!!

[VTMCompany]

THANK YOU for finally showing a wonderful video of the infamous bridge. I crossed it many times in childhood before its demise in 1967. Dreams haunted me for many years afterwards. Thankfully, they're gone now like the bridge itself. But, the thought of 'what if' when crossing a bridge never leaves one's mind after this tragedy.

[crowleysridgegirl]

@VTMCompany This video was done by the BBC Open University,and there are 2 other parts to it.THis is one of the best on the Silver Bridge that I've ever seen.Became acquainted with the ladies at the Point Pleasant RIver Museum,and have had a real interest in the Silver Bridge ever since I heard about it.I'll never forget it.

[zzdre]

@VTMCompany that was a very touching speech
