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)

ADVANCE FOR USE FRIDAY, OCT. 14, 2016, AT 3:01 A.M. EDT AND THEREAFTER-Joshua Casto leads the Tama County Young Guns class at the Izaak Walton Shooting Facility in Toledo, Iowa, on April 14, 2016. Casto had drilled gun safety into his children for years. They are a family of hunters, in a part of central Iowa where taking to the fields with rifle in hand is a way of life. So what happened two days after Christmas in 2014 was widely considered a tragic and freak accident. As he prepared for a deer hunt, Casto’s teenage son stumbled. The muzzleloader he was carrying discharged, and the shot fatally struck his 12-year-old sister Liesel. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
