Bridge collapse during demo (Ottawa)

"...during planned demolition work."

Not as exciting as a collapse during a demonstration. ;-)

No reported injuries.

I've heard thirdhand that part of this bridge structure was supposed to be rehabbed for LRT. Not sure what parts and what extent. No official source, but the person who told me probably wouldn't have said so if it wasn't true. Take it as you want.

Ha, good point VE1BLL. I'm in the bridge demolition industry, so it's a no-brainer shortening for me. Not for everyone else.

Thanks for the photo AGNT... that's definitely a more useful angle.

No reported injuries, but that one operator was probably wishing he had put on his brown pants that day.
