More music from http://www.galxygirl.com Driving across 35W Mississippi bridge in Minneapolis ca. 1987. Originally part of a music video. Aerial view and collapse footage overlayed on top of original.

The replacement bridge was opened Sept. 2009. You can see a live webcam view here:

  • Why did the bridge collapse?

  • The National Transportation Safety Bureau (NTSB) believes that this truss bridge design was flawed, as the gusset plates were only half the thickness they should have been for the load. Also, the design had no redundancy -- if one part fails, the whole thing collapses.

  • Great video and great editing! You managed to capture every aspect of both the bridge intact and collapsed in just 55 seconds. :3
