Inquisitorial Hearing on Bay Bridge Disaster Light Fails
A coroner’s inquest examined eye witnesses and train crew about the K-Line No. 15 crash into the bay after the lower bay bridge draw opened. Witnesses contradicted each other on signals, braking, and engineer Concannon’s attempt to stop, while bridge tender Clinton and others described semaphore operations as diversions or misread signals. The hearing, spanning several hours, aimed to determine cause with officials from Burlington and local observers testifying about signals, brakes, and the eventual plunge into the water.
