Why did the Quebec cantilever Bridge fall?
Human error. Construction on the Quebec bridge began in 1903, but miscalculations in planning meant that the actual weight of the bridge exceeded its carrying capacity. Quite simply, it was not strong enough for the job for which it was built. As the bridge neared completion in 1907, engineers noticed the structural problems but did not recognise how bad the situation was. The consulting engineer ordered all work to be halted on August 27, but work continued anyway.
