- The Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing, also called the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and Second Narrows Bridge, is the second bridge constructed at the Second (east) Narrows of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Originally named the Second Narrows Bridge, it connects Vancouver to the North Shore of Burrard Inlet, which includes the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. It was constructed adjacent to the older Second Narrows Bridge, which is now exclusively a rail bridge. Its construction, from 1956 to 1960, was marred by a multi-death collapse on June 17, 1958. The First Narrows Bridge, better known as Lions Gate Bridge, crosses Burrard Inlet about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) west of the Second Narrows.

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.
I was 8 years old and we were driving from Vancouver to the Yukon, my Dad was a heavy equipment operator, he commented on the crane being too far out on an unsupported span as we drove past it, when we got home and turned on the news Dad was not in the slightest surprised, the whole thing was the result of stupidity on the part of the supervisor who put the crane there in the first place, The take home lesson he gave us children was "Never trust a supervisor to know what he's doing!! "
Correction at 4:40 "...the river claimed another victim.." should be " BURRARD INLET" ( an arm of the Pacific Ocean ) which is not a RIVER.
You are an idiot
Every time I drive over the second narrows bridge I get the chills from remembering it
Think about such things everytime I go by the Memorial while on my way over.
Now called The Iron Workers Memorial Bridge 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
Officially, but nobody really calls it that (other than politicians and news reporters who have been coached to by their editorial department).
Creator be with all
Stompin Tom wrote a song about this
This bridge was built before the Port Man bridge so it could not have been the last link in the Trans Canada Highway.
I think back then the TCH crossed the Fraser River via the Pattullo Bridge.
My dad and uncle were working on that bridge when it collapsed .they ran for their lives and managed to escape. My mom freaked . We had been in Canada for one year
Useless fact: This happened the day I was born
