• Mianus River Bridge collapse in Connecticut On June 28, 1983, a 100-foot section of the Mianus River Bridge on Interstate 95 in Greenwich, Connecticut, collapsed at 1:30 a.m. EDT. The collapse resulted in two tractor-trailers and two automobiles falling 70 feet into the river, leading to three fatalities and three serious injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause was the undetected lateral displacement of the hangers in the pin and hanger suspension assembly due to corrosion-induced forces, stemming from deficiencies in Connecticut's bridge safety inspection and maintenance program. source: ntsb.gov
