Disaster Victims Share Story

Three years have passed since the shock of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse and the victims involved in the disaster still live with the trauma from the experience. This collapse caused the death of 13 people and injury to 145 others. Many of those survivors shared their intense experiences and memories in a documentary about the incident, made by Dan Kenney. The film, titled, "One Day in August", is still being worked on with the intent to accurately share the participants' personal stories.

The process of healing for trauma victims can be very slow and strenuous. It often helps for such people to talk about their suffering as a step to recovery. Being featured in a documentary such as "One Day in August" will hopefully help those bridge collapse survivors to come to peace with their pain and to help them mourn the losses of those who were taken by the incident.
