Kinzua Bridge

The Kinzua Bridge, near Mount Jewett, Pennsylvania, photographed shortly after its construction in 1882.

At the time it was built, the Kinzua Bridge was the highest, at 301 ft (92 m), and longest, at 2,053 ft (626 m), railway bridge in the world. Most of the bridge was destroyed on July 21, 2003, by a tornado. The bridge pieces have been left as they fell, and it is intended to make the ruins a visitor attraction to show the forces of nature at work.
