On Jan. 27, 1938, Niagara's Honeymoon Bridge, built in 1897, collapsed after tonnes of ice piled up at its base. Thousands of curious onlookers were drawn to the spectacle. The final pieces of the Honeymoon Bridge sank in April, after the springtime thaw and it was replaced by the present day  Rainbow Bridge in 1941.
