#Silver Bridge Collapse
🙏 On December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge connecting Point Pleasant, WV, and Gallipolis, OH, collapsed during rush hour, tragically claiming 46 lives... In the weeks leading up to the disaster, many locals reported sightings of the Mothman—an event some believe was a warning of the tragedy to come. The collapse, caused by a hidden crack in a single steel eyebar, led to nationwide reforms in bridge safety inspections. | Montani Semper Liberi
