Imho, it would be quite cool if you could cover the Avro Anson L7056. It seems fitting and is an interesting topic that has quite a bit of info.

My Dad was also working on that bridge that day, he watched his friends fall to their deaths.

I work in the coal mines just across the BC/AB border from Hillcrest and have been on Mine Rescue since I started. This disaster is still taught to the new rescuers when they start to emphasize the danger possible and how efficient rescue can save lives if the worst case does happen

Amazing Film

Lord God bless Jumbo.✡️🕎✝️✨️🗯💭💥❤️‍🔥🙏

The BC government needs to do something so that this never happens again! 😢

It's so weird to see videos made on something I've driven past every year in my life during the summer when im going camping.

There were several mistakes made in this story. At the time I was dating a young man who worked on this bridge. We had made a date to go to a special dinner so he asked his friend who also worked on the bridge if he would take his shift and his friend agreed. Unfortunately, when the bridge collapsed his friend died (body caught up the the steel below the water and wiring everywhere. The young man found out that the steel girders were not the right thickness and, at the end of of part of the section of the bridge had a large heavy crane at the tip of it which they felt was partically due to some of the collapse. Not only that but, many of the bolts used were not quality and on the weak side, yet they proceeded. It was sad that my male friend had to live with the fact that his friend who took his place had died and yet my male friend was alive. He carried this with him for many years. When I still lived in Vancouver during that time if one went over the completion of that bridge even years later those men were not forgotten.

3:14 - _"Back then there were no safety nets or ropes and workers carried heavy tools walking on steel beams a foot wide 200 feet in the air"_ 3:15 - _"Workers were thrown into the....some of them dragged to the depths still attached to the steel beams..."_ Can't have it both ways. Either they were wearing safety equipment that tethered them to the bridge or they weren't. Choose one @TheMapleChronicles

hey man, I know I'm just one guy, but I will watch absolutely every video you put out. you have a pleasant cadence and cover well researched topics, similar to "scary interesting" and other spooky bedtime type channels do. I watch this stuff every night.

I lived in Hope for 19 years, we used to go to the site all the time, there's some kind of a memorial / rest stop now there one can find some displays explaining what happened that day. I think the Hope slide is the second biggest land slide in Canadian history right after Frank's slide in AB on the same hwy 3 (crowsnest hwy)

Underrated channel, keep up the amazing videos!!

I think the frank slide was deadlier than the hope slide it burried the town of frank while its residents slept everyone died in frank

My dad drove us over the slide in August 1965 on a family vacation. We stopped at a temporary view point. I found it every bit as eerie as the Frank slide we had seen a few years before.

I remember driving with my family through the slide area shortly after it happened.

I earned my bachelor's in Civil Engineering in 1986, but never learned about this disaster.

Please note that while footage of the accident is available on line, I have chosen not to include it here out of respect for the athlete and his family. Although The Maple Chronicles deals with dark subject matter, I do not believe in including gory or graphic content.

Stompin Tom wrote a song about this

Apparently my mother and father were dating at the time and were out on a small boat below the bridge when the collapse happened. They weren't directly below and weren't hit by anything but there was a huge whirlpool that they almost got sucked into. They managed to escape (making it possible for me to exist) but it was harrowing.

Great video! Keep them coming

Every time I drive over the second narrows bridge I get the chills from remembering it

This bridge was built before the Port Man bridge so it could not have been the last link in the Trans Canada Highway.

Its like a limestone mine that mined itself. If the local indigenous people think the mountain is moving best not to build a town there.

Those miners were invincible man. That is incredible. This was just a bad place to be, it was always gonna happen sooner or later..also, why did they rebuild houses in the SAME PLACE!? Why not just move over a mile🤦🏼‍♂️

Useless fact: This happened the day I was born

Thanks for doing another video about the Crowsnest Pass! Glad to see the history of where I grew up being profiled. For a small place that so few seem to know about, it is rewarding to see videos like this. Growing up there, I remember the Frank Slide Interpretive Center being built...Fished and tubed the Crowsnest River so many times. The video is quite concise and clear. So glad to see this. Thanks again.

wow, never even heard about this before. great video

Love this comment

Very Good Video👍

Hope-less, BC. You know why? Because the mountains block out the sun 90% of the day.

I visit St. Thomas weekly and it's kinda fucked up how proud they are of trains... It's known as "rail city" with no mention of jumbo.... They have train monuments ffs

I've had about Jumbo because I live in St. Thomas, Ontario. But I had no idea that you lived a painful life. May that poor old elephant Rest in Peace.

...........thanks for covering this, I remember when this happened as clear as day, we used to vacation in the Shuswap Lake area every summer so passing through this slide area was a yearly occurrence for our family. I always found it to be really eerie passing through and one summer shortly after it happened I remember seeing the wreckage of the tanker truck (one of the vehicles caught in the slide) lying on the side of the old highway. Years later when I was much older I was driving back from Nelson BC and decided to stop at the viewpoint to have a look. It was around 1:00am in the morning and the road at that time was virtually deserted. I pointed my car to the mountain and got out and sat on the hood just looking up at the huge scar the slide had created. It was a beautiful clear night and the full moon seemed to cast such a beautiful light illuminating the whole valley. So eerie just me there alone with the wind. On a lighter note I couldn't help but chuckle to myself when watching this video and noticing that they had installed charging stations at the viewpoint. I found it amusing that with the current infrastructure for charging stations being sadly inadequate that someone in their infinite wisdom thought it important enough to install them in a point of interest viewpoint. Just had to laugh at that. :)

Now called The Iron Workers Memorial Bridge 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

I did 70% of my senior report presentation on Jumbo. All of my teachers were sobbing by the end.

I was 21 years old, and living in Calgary when Ng was arrested. I was actually in The Bay store when it happened. I had no idea, and saw nothing. I only found out when it was reported on the local news. Of course, at the time, I had no idea who he was, but as the case became known, I got a little obsessed.

Such an AWEsome creaure. The world was left lesser at its departure.

What a disaster

The greyhound bus driver was unable to turn around; he had to back his bus a sizeable distance to the (now gone) Sumallo lodge.

How is ng still breathing California inmates needs to step it up poke this guy already

There was no bomb people. We're talking about Gander, Newfoundland. ICE, ICE baby. I have been to the Silent Memorial site many times which is eerie as there are still pieces of the plane there and the trees have never regrown.

i watched a documentry about him when i was like 5 and didnt know what they where talking about since i came in 10 minutes before the end thank you for finnally filling in that massive blank space in my ememory, also is it true he was walked accross a large bridge and nearly collapsed it?

If only he had a dentist on hand, his story would be very different…😢

Right after Frank slide

I didn't know know jumbo was named after a elephant.

Good stuff. Thanks for your hard work.

typical Canadian: debris field 200ft deep and 2 km wide. Sure, cant just say 60m deep and 2km wide. Weirdos.

Was there a couple of years ago. Was weird seeing a electric car charging station located there.
