Remember Corpus Christi, TX. lost it's bridge while the WTC was still fresh news. Some kind of barge accident. It is the only bridge out to Padre Island I think. (Don't remember fo sure.)

Yes... It happened right after 9/11/01. Barges got away from the tow boat and knocked out a full section of the bridge. Several people were killed. But I do not think it was a terrorist attack. Barges hit bridges all the time. Where I live we have one and it gets closed down everytime it gets hit. They check it for serious damage and if it is ok... they reopen it.

It was the causeway linking Port Isabel, TX to South Padre Island, TX that was knocked down by a barge. FReegards
