Who is the "Cooper" referenced by McLure became increasingly concerned and wrote repeatedly to Cooper? Touchstone 02:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"structural problems were noticed, but the local engineering team did not recognize the gravity of the situation." That's a beautiful pun :) Kirk 08:55, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but your name reminded me of another occasion that pun was used. [Begin useless trivia] Star Trek V: The Voyage Home. Captain Kirk is attempting to scale El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without safety devices. Spock flies up with jet boots and engages Kirk in conversation during which he says "I do not believe you appreciate the gravity of the situation". Kirk replies "On the contrary, gravity is foremost on my mind". [End useless trivia] --Colin Angus Mackay 22:32, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Did the message get through[edit]

Other sites describing the initial collapse tell a different story about the communications between New York and Quebec. This site for example blames the Quebec foreman for the incident. I think we need some citations here, and perhaps some digging to either confirm a single story, or, alternatively, lay out the various theories. -- cmh 22:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck?[edit]

I don't know why, but someone seemed to remove the entire section about the second collapse of the bridge and no one put it back for some reason. There is NO historical doubt about the collapse in 1916 during the raising of the centre section, even if it did not match a photo that was included - the only thing wrong was the description of the picture, it shoudl have said shortly after this the bridge collapsed a second time. Bridge fall down go boom, then fall down go boom again 9 years later... I've seen it on Disasters of the Century and I have read about it in books. I hope that if someone removes this section again it is reverted immediately and not left to incorrectly stand through other edits for weeks. --CokeBear 14:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See this photo for some documentation of the 1916 collapse.--CokeBear 14:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, where's the second collapse info?[edit]

on the wiki sept. 11th page it refers to 1916 - The Quebec Bridge collapses for a second time, killing 11 men. The bridge initially collapsed on August 29, 1907.

wheres that info???

its improper to leave that info out.
