BASE469 0 #1 July 22, 2003 There was a story in the local papers about the Kinzua Bridge being destroyed in a severe wind storm. I'm somewhat saddened as it was where i made my first BASE jump. From the photos it looks like the middle third of the bridge is gone. http://www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20030722kinzuar5.asp 469 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base311 0 #2 July 23, 2003 Dang that sucks, dude. All kinds of things have been falling lately.. lots of towers ('specially nebraska). Look at it on the bright side - nobody can burn it to the ground, now. Do they have any intentions on restoring it? Hope you're doing well. Gardner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base428 1 #4 July 23, 2003 The winds in that valley were notoriously bad and the structure was very old. It was nice while it lasted.... RIP(c)2010 Vertical Visions. No unauthorized duplication permitted. <==For the media only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
