Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Tay Bridge was a real bridge that collapsed in Dundee, Scotland, during a violent storm on 28 December 1879. (No passengers and crew on board a crossing train survived the disaster). Though long since replaced, some ruins of the structure can still be seen at the location as of 2009. See more » |
| Goofs | When the real Tay Bridge collapsed, it was the center section, which was made of high girder through trusses. However, the film shows the low deck trusses collapsing. See more » |
