On this day in history
An early morning in September, with the first traces of autumn in the air. The business district starting up for another day of commerce. Traffic was fluid. The day shift was in place in the local factories. All the hustle and bustle of a major city. Almost nine years before, the greatest engineering structure in the area had been damaged, but none thought to forecast a total structural collapse. Fine steel and iron, set in place by the master builders from the Mohawk reserve in Kahnawake reserve, Strong foundation sunk deep into the bedrock below. And, without warning, disaster. The communications lines worldwide would hum with the news. A city would be brought to a standstill. Could this be the result of the ongoing war? (The Quebec Bridge collapsed on this day, ninety years ago.)
