Workmen in foreground are loading steel girders on September 4, 1942 being salvaged from the $6,400,000 Narrows Bridge which collapsed in November 1940 near Tacoma, Washington. The salvage project for WWII defense is expected to yield 3,000 tons of steel wire and 4,500 tons of structural steel from towers (background) which were left standing when the bridge fell.
