Nervy escape on Spokane bridge spooks 50 onlookers
Bert Bacon a former Ames youth barely dodged a fatal plunge when a timber end brace swung free on the old Post street bridge. He grabbed a hanging iron chord and vaulted to safety, while spectators on the span gasped at the narrow miss. Authorities note a Mayday moment on a windy morning as the crew worked to lower timber for river disposal.
