Golden Gate Bridge construction disaster...



Item # 704917

February 18, 1937

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE--EXTRA, Feb. 18, 1937  The front page has a great & very dramatic banner headline above the masthead: "TEN DIE ON GATE SPAN" with a nice subhead: "Bridge Scaffolding Falls, Tears Net and Plunges 12 Into Sea" with more.
The front page also has a large photo labeled where it began to rip and where it gave way, as well as showing insets of 3 men falling.
The very graphic coverage on the next four pages is quite dramatic as well.
Present are pages 1-12, which may be all that were printed with this "Extra" edition. In very nice, clean condition. A very displayable issue.

Item from Catalog 353 (released for April 2025)
