Talk:List of bridge disasters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should we not have a definition of what constitues a disaster ? Some of these sound like minor, albeit interesting, accidents. I would have assumed that it needed at least a fatality to qualify as a disaster? Any thoughts or suggestions ? Velela 19:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] (Fictional) Bridge on the River Kwai was not a disaster/ accident
I've removed the entry for the 'Bridge on the River Kwai' as a Fictional Bridge Disaster. The bridge was destroyed by a wartime demolitions team, not by accident/ failure, in both the novel and the movie. The real Burma railway bridge was destroyed by Allied bombing, but then repaired.
[edit] Merge list of collapses from Bridge
The current listing of collapses in Bridge greatly duplicates much text here. It would seem to make sense to have one list. Velela 19:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
