I90 Bridge Sinks
Loading...
Uploaded by Weathergoat on Jan 27, 2007
Part of the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge sinking after the Thanksgiving day floods in 1990. Wikipedia for more info. It was not shown 'Live' though. According to the local press, the station had to do a few crafty dubs to remove multiple instances of unacceptable language on the soundtrack!
Taken from an old VHS cassette recorded off-air from KING 5, Seattle.

@HoltCalifornia LOL...it's so ridiculous! like we're about to watch a huskies game or something...

I sure remember this. Also, the absolutely harrowing experience using "reversible lanes" . How antiquated that was. Nice of our state to begin tolling 520 again...

I remember loving the drive over the I-90 because of the Lane Control Signals. I thought they were gone in 1990 (I was a senior in high school--Garfield), but it looks like they were still there. I couldn't believe my eyes, either. It made me think about the Hood Canal Bridge, which happened the year the Sonics won the NBA championship (I was in kindergarten).

That's sad. This was tyhe origi9nal Seattle Floating Bridge. Was down before the only [so far] time that I've visited Seattle, in 1998 [I live in Southern California, just goes to show you how far people come to places frrom places.BTW Interewsting story, Long Beach had a pontoon bridge thru the late 1960s.]

The next day I drove over the new section of the bridge. I'd forgotten about the closure the day before till I rounded the last curve on Mercer Island. I could hardly believe my eyes.
Because the old bridge had cut the anchor cables on the new bridge, the new bridge was in danger of floating away. There were several tug boats tied to the south side of the bridge, puling backwards on it to keep it in place. The whole image and experience driving over the bridge in that state was surreal..
