Episode 24.5: [Tragedy Tuesday] Heron Road Bridge Collapse

In the summer of 1966, the construction of the Heron Road Bridge in Ottawa didn't go exactly to plan.  A cautionary tale about listening to the groaning woodwork, and for one worker about maybe staying away from construction sites... for the rest of his life.  The National Capital, the Heron Road Workers Memorial Bridge, and a man pinned by a police car.
