Thank you, Smacklan, for your kind words.

Recovery of the victims has been a slow process, because of the combined conditions...the dangers of the river and the heavy debris. Officials have said it could be weeks before they recover all the bodies. How sad for those families.

Sounds allot like the Point Pleasant Silver Bridge disaster, I wonder if anyone reported seeing anything strange before the collapse?


Silver Bridge

WHOA!! It looks a LOT like what happened here...gives me goosebumps. Thanks for the link, V.

One news report stated that rust could be seen on part of the bridge, but I don't think that's being considered as a factor...

Here's an interesting article...

And another from a Canadian friend of mine...

The Mothman Prophecies? http://imdb.com/title/tt0265349/

No, I haven't...I assume it's relevant? I will put it on my NetFlix queue if you think it's worth a look. In fact, I probably will anyway, as you've piqued my curiosity.

Point Pleasant, WV, was where the Silver Bridge collapsed in '67...part of the movie takes place there, from what I've read thus far.

Yeah, if you Google about the Mothman you'll find all sorts of theories that link its presence to several disasters; some even think that it's some sort of guardian angel.
