===Bridge collapse=== [[File:Silver Bridge, 1928.jpg|thumb|right|[[Silver Bridge]] in [[Point Pleasant, West Virginia]], which collapsed into the Ohio River on December 15, 1967, killing 46 people]] The Silver Bridge at [[Point Pleasant, West Virginia]], collapsed into the river on December 15, 1967. The collapse killed 46 people who had been crossing when the bridge failed. The bridge had been built in 1929, and by 1967 was carrying too heavy a load for its design.<ref>{{cite journal |last=LeRose |first=Chris |date=October 2001 |title=The Collapse of the Silver Bridge |url=http://www.wvculture.org/history/wvhs/wvhs1504.html |journal=West Virginia Historical Society Quarterly |volume=15 |issue=4 |access-date=December 20, 2018 |archive-date=March 6, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306020500/http://www.wvculture.org/history/wvhs/wvhs1504.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The bridge was rebuilt about one mile downstream and in service as the [[Silver Memorial Bridge]] in 1969.
