Beskrivning:

The Almö Bridge (inaugurated in 1960), that connected the island of Tjörn (Sweden's 7th largest island) to the mainland. The bridge collapsed January 18th 1980, when the bulk carrier MS Star Clipper struck the bridge arch. Eight people died that night as they drove over the edge until the road on the Tjörn side was closed 40 minutes after the accident. A new cable-stayed bridge, Tjörn Bridge, was built and inaugurated in 1981.
