About this listen

December 15, 1967.


On this day, we remember the Silver Bridge Disaster, when the bridge spanning the Ohio River between Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and Gallipolis, Ohio, collapsed during the evening rush hour. Forty-six lives were lost, and countless families and communities were forever changed.
