In August 1907, the Quebec Bridge — then the longest cantilever span in the world — collapsed into the St. Lawrence River, killing 76 workers. This episode explores the engineering failures, the flawed design by Theodore Cooper, the ignored warnings from inspector Norman McLure, and the human cost that reshaped civil engineering standards worldwide. We also discuss the 1916 centre span disaster and the bridge's troubled legacy as both a vital rail link and a monument to hubris. Lucas and Luna delve into the politics of steel, the limits of nineteenth-century stress analysis, and how this catastrophe gave rise to modern structural engineering codes. #QuebecBridge #EngineeringDisaster #TheodoreCooper #NormanMcLure #Collapse #StLawrenceRiver #CantileverBridge #1907 #1916 #PhoenixBridgeCompany #CanadianHistory #Quebec #IndustrialAccident #StructuralEngineering #History #FexingoHistory #NorthAmerica #Disaster Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
