I remember discussions of this when I was younger, but haven't heard it mentioned in some years. When my father and uncles were discussing a local building project, one of them would say something such as "I hope they remember the Dixon disaster". For a long time I didn't understand what they were talking about, but later learned they were referring to the collapse of this bridge.

I never stand with a large crowd on a deck, bridge, or balcony. Mostly, I avoid being with globs of people. I have trust issues.

Learned a new word — “immured”

Ghastly.

Horrific deaths and injuries, though first I heard of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon_Bridge_Disaster

I live about 50 miles North of there, and I have not heard of this. Maybe because it happened so long ago.
Ronald Reagan grew up near there.
