Oct 15, 1970, 11:50 AM AEST, Melbourne, Australia (37S49'46", 144E53'53")
Crosses the Yarra River. During construction, the hundred-yard span between two piers collapsed, falling 164 feet into the river "with an explosion of gas, dust and mangled metal that shook buildings hundreds of metres away... The roar of the impact, the explosion, and the fire that followed could be clearly heard over [12 miles] away." 35 workers killed, 18 injured. "Australia's worst industrial accident."
Bizarrely, Mercury is all over this one! (And traffic wasn't even flowing.) The charts are decent even if not exciting. They don't seem to touch the general scope and there is no serious hint of the fire.
