THE TASMAN BRIDGE   HOBART  TASMANIA.

Hobart TASMANIA.:
 A lovely new "first day released : maxi card showing the"Tasman Bridge over the Derwent River in Hobart Tasmania..This bridge has a bit of a history as it was the scene of a tragic event that happened when a ship hit the bridge and brought down the highway above along with some unfortunate traffic that was crossing the Bridge at the time.

THE TASMAN BRIDGE DISASTER : occured on the 5th January 1975  in Hobart ( The capital city of  the State of Tasmania  ) when a bulk ore carrier  ( The Lake Illawarra ) carrying 10.000 tonnes of zinc ore concentrate traveling up the Derwent River collided with several of the pylons of the bridge thus causing the bridge to collapse also bringing  down  a large section of the roadway onto the ship and into the river. Twelve people were killed including seven crew onboard the ship , and the five occupants of four cars that fell the 45 meters (150 feet ) after driving off the bridge. The disaster severed the main link between Hobart and its eastern suburbs and is notable for the social impacts that resulted from the loss of such a vital road artery.  (info care of Wikipedia )
