This is the aerial lift bridge in Duluth. We had been walking along the bridge when the alarms started going off warning people they needed to get off the bridge because it was going to rise to let some larger boats go through. I quickly was ready to leave but not your father! He was feeling young and invincible and wanted to ride the bridge up. And that's exactly what he did. I remember thinking that it was a not very smart thing to do which it was. When he came back down and got off the bridge he told me the operator yelled at him and told him he could be arrested but because he was from out of town, he wouldn't be.
I did a little research and it turns out that they use to let people ride up and down on the bridge like 10 years before. I'm not sure which year this was but I think it was before the woman was killed. For more information about the bridge, go to here.
