Maybe God wasn’t happy with that church.

I always blame the Baptists myself.... !
_________________________________________

Placing blame
Immediately after the collapse, citizens and city officials began placing blame on various entities. Those blamed included L. E. Truesdell, the Dixon City Council, Henry Strong (the bridge tender), and the Baptists. While some of these were quickly dismissed, the case against L. E. Truesdell’s bridge design sustained the test of time and scrutiny.

L. E. Truesdell wrote: “It is nearly 18 years since I began building iron bridges, and the Elgin and Dixon bridges are the only ones that have fallen, and no loss of life except at Dixon. Can as much be said of any other plan?”
