“I thought that with the rain it got washed away.”
Gary Bruce, New Castle Development spokesman
Have you ever seen a magician make his lovely assistant disappear? Impressive, right? That’s nothing compared to what thieves did near North Beaver Township, Pennsylvania (population 4,022): they made a whole bridge disappear—all 40 tons of it—and nobody saw a thing. The 50-foot steel railroad bridge is valued at $100,000, and it was tucked away in a wooded area that locals don’t frequent. Thieves made off with the bridge some time after September 27, probably using blow torches and a big truck. Luckily, there was no chance a train could have chugged along and fallen off into nothingness. The bridge was closed recently . . . because of copper thefts in the area.
