Controlled explosions fail to bring down 93-year-old bridge
Numerous controlled explosions failed to bring down the 'structurally deficient' 93-year-old Broadway Bridge in Arkansas, United States. The demolition crew had to spend five hours using cables to bring down the steel arch, as the detonations failed to sever it. Three other implosions are planned during a six-month project to completely replace the 2,786-foot-long bridge.
