Ypsilanti "Bridge of Friendship" Collapses, Injuring 2 by ypsi~dixit
Y writes: YPSILANTI, MI--A gesture of international goodwill ended in tragedy today in Riverside Park, when a bright yellow bridge built entirely of Legos collapsed into the Huron River.
The brainchild of local poet-boxer Ygg Mulholland, the ambitious structure extended from Riverside Park's fishing dock to the river's opposite bank. "Each support pillar took 15,000 Legos," says Mulholland. "I built the whole thing in sections in my garage." The structure was placed in the Huron River with the help of Ygg's canoer brother Dave, who was spotted moored upriver at Cross Street Bridge. |
