After 84 years of service, the historic Fort Steuben Bridge—which connected Ohio and West Virginia along the Ohio River—was demolished on Tuesday with the aid of more than 150 pounds of explosives.

Culture Buzz No more joking about Irene being a non-event. The governor says the flooding in central and southern Vermont is the worst in over a century. A dozen bridges have been washed away, tens of thousands are without power, and at least two are dead in the tiny New England state. If you'd like to help Vermont and the many other victims of Irene, please make a donation to the Red Cross.
