The steel arch of the Broadway Bridge falls into the Arkansas River after being pulled down by a pair of tug boats, Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016 in Little Rock, Ark. It turns out a 93-year-old bridge deemed structurally deficient wasn’t so weak after all. Despite triggering explosives to bring down the Broadway Bridge between Little Rock and North Little Rock on Tuesday, a demolition crew needed five hours to fell the structure. Severing the steel arch and bridge deck should have taken about 30 seconds. (Staton Breidenthal/The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette via AP)
