    I was 3 days short of my 5th birthday when this happened; my little girl's heart sensed there was something horribly wrong that happened that day ~ a young 17 yr old diver named Phil Nuytten was on the scene to assist that day. Look him up and see his accomplishments to the diving scene today! He is based still in North Vancouver, BC

    That summer, we went up and a group of the survivors met in our hotel room with my dad & uncle (Ironworkers all.). It was so gruesome that my mom took me to the Orpheum just get away from it.

    My ex. wifes late uncle was an Engineer with Dominion Bridge, he told us that on the day of the collapse he had gone to inspect the bridge before they moved those heavy beams etc. into position, he told us that he found every second bolt was missing from the shore end of the cantilever section of bridge and further exanimation showed that all the wrong bolts had been put in apparrently as a temporary measure, mild steel instead of the special high strength hardened steel. He knew they were planning on moving all that weight out to the end of the bridge section and advised them not to proceed until all the bolts had been replaced. He then drove back to his office in burnaby and almost the first thing he heard was the Bridge had collapsed, and he knew they had not followed his instructions.
