A bridge demolition goes wrong ...

The almost 100-year-old Broadway Bridge in Little Rock, Arkansas had reached the end of its days. Therefore, the Arkansas Department of Highways and Transportation decided to blow it up with a controlled explosion . . . Or at least they tried! 

In fact, the attempt at demolition using explosives did not exactly follow the program and after the disappearance of the smoke clouds, the bridge was still standing there! 

This incredible bridge simply refused to be torn down thereby forcing the demolition squad to make another attempt later.
