Baltimore bridge disaster echoes Fassett collapse in 1957
The Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster early Tuesday in Baltimore evokes for some Toledoans the demise of a local bridge that was felled by a wind-blown ship nearly 67 years ago. The Fassett Street Bridge once connected East Toledo and the city’s South End neighborhood just downstream of a narrow and sharp bend in the Maumee River. Completed in 1896, the long, spindly, truss-design structure got sideways glances almost immediately, and it sustained major weather damage twice before its ultimate demise — once from river ice, the second time from wind. And wind was deemed a major factor when a wayward ship finally took the Fassett bridge down on April 5, 1957. Gusts estimated at 80 mph blew the Champlain, an 8,700-ton lake freighter, from its nearby mooring and sent it crashing into the middle of the bridge, destroying three spans. Two cars were on the bridge at the time, but both made it safely to shore.
