Death on the Silver Bridge by Rose Sefton Msw Pdf

Ten days before Christmas. Jingle Bells fill the air. On December 15, 1967 at 5 P. M., the gorgeous Silver Bridge that connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia and Gallipolis, Ohio crashed into the Ohio River taking with it forty-six lives. Vincent Booton had gone across the bridge to buy a new color television set for his family. Kayleen MacKlintoc is a wealthy college student is home for winter break. Fred and Anabell Myers have a doctor's appointment. George Henderson is picking up a diamond bracelet for his wife. Jim Henderson is looking for a way to avoid the draft, but there is no room in the Henderson house for cowards. Denise Sheppard is a single mother with two kids. She works at a truck stop as a waitress and can hardly afford peanut butter much less Christmas presents. Ken and Gloria Gilmore are newlyweds, deeply in love with their whole lives ahead of them. Mary Ann Gilmore is a vivacious teenager anticipating her first kiss. They all have one thing in common: The Silver Bridge and the horribly cold water that awaits. One loud boom and the bridge goes down. A minute later, dozens of cars are underwater, and people are beating on the windows and doors, trying to escape certain death. Trapped, dying or already dead from concrete slabs and twisted metal that crushed cars and skulls with indifference. Trapped, dying with no way out. Christmas presents wash up on banks of the Ohio River.

You’ve been warned.” —Richard Hatem, screenwriter, The Mothman Prophecies Mothman: Evil Incarnate, by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, is a brand new companion title to the late John Keel’s The Mothman Prophecies (1975), which investigated the sightings of a winged creature called Mothman and became popularized in the 2002 movie of the same name starring Richard Gere. With new material by Loren Coleman, extensive annotations on each chapter of The Mothman Prophecies, a detailed Mothman death list, and a gallery of images, Mothman: Evil Incarnate comprises the most up-to-date information on Mothman phenomena. In addition to providing context to John Keel’s cult classic, Coleman expands on missing details from the movie, explores the deaths that followed the West Virginia incident, describes the recent Chicago Mothman sightings, and delves into the life of John Keel. This companion book should find its place on every Mothman aficionado and cryptozoology fan’s bookshelf. The mystery continues…

The Silver Bridge Disaster of 1967 by Stephan G. Bullard,Bridget J. Gromek,Martha Fout,Ruth Fout,The Point Pleasant River Museum Pdf

Point Pleasant’s Silver Bridge, the first eyebar suspension bridge in the United States, was an engineering marvel when it was constructed in 1927 and 1928. Located on US Highway 35, the bridge spanned the Ohio River and linked Point Pleasant, West Virginia, with the towns of Kanauga and Gallipolis, Ohio. For almost 40 years, the structure provided dependable service for travelers in the region. On December 15, 1967, this service came to a dramatic and disastrous end. At 4:58 p.m., during the height of rush hour, the bridge suddenly collapsed. Rescue and recovery operations started immediately but were hampered by poor weather conditions and freezing rain. The cause of the collapse was linked to the bridge’s innovative design. Undetected corrosion stress cracks caused an eyebar on the Ohio side to fracture; because the eyebars were linked together in a chain, the failure of one led to the catastrophic collapse of the entire bridge. In total, 46 lives were lost in the disaster.
