35W bridge collapse pictures


In this interesting document, it is possible to observe a large number of pictures of the 35W bridge that collapsed into the Mississippi river.



In particular it is interesting to notice that some of the gusset plates appear to be buckled as early as 2003 and the fractured plate show signs of corrosion.
