The Summer Street Bridge Disaster | A Short Documentary | Fascinating Horror

On the 7th of November, 1916, the streets of Boston were crowded with people. The results of the 33rd United States presidential election were due to be announced, and tens of thousands of residents were waiting for news with baited breath. Before that news could arrive, however, another more immediate event would demand their attention – Boston was about to witness the worst public transit disaster it had ever seen.
