Inquest Opens on Brooklyn Bridge Panic Victims
The inquest into the twelve victims of the Brooklyn Bridge panic began Monday with testimony from C. C. Martin the bridge superintendent. He said twenty two special police were on the bridge at the time. A railing was added at the stairway but would not fix risks in another panic. An inclined plane was considered but deemed unsafe in slippery weather. The present stairway is the best safety option. Trustee James Stranahan noted temporarily opening wagon roads during peak travel and possible additional foot pedestrian walks could be built alongside carriageways.
