The event on March 27, 1938, ended no lives but drew crowds as engineers misread the danger before the bridge fell in sections. The Rainbow Bridge later opened in 1941 near the site.

Chamber Opposes Kennedy Tax Plan Overgrowth Fears
The US Chamber of Commerce called Kennedy's tax reduction and revision plan unbalanced and bleak for growth. It argued excessive emphasis on consumer spending undercuts incentives for investment, jobs, and production, warning Congress to shift emphasis to tax incentives if growth and investment are to rise. The bill proposes a net $10.2 billion annual tax cut over three years, offset by $3.4 billion in revenue-raising revisions.
