On May 28, 1993, a towboat and an empty hopper barge collided with a support pier of the Judge William Seeber Bridge, which spans the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in New Orleans, Louisiana. About 150 feet of the four-lane bridge deck collapsed onto the barge and into the shallow waters of the canal. Two automobiles fell with the bridge deck. One passenger died, and two others were seriously injured. The safety issues discussed in the report include the adequacy of operator performance, the timeliness of toxicological testing, and the vulnerability of this bridge and of bridges nationwide to vessel collision and collapse.
