BBC Rewind: Bridge collapses on to Hatfield railway line
Archive footage has showed the aftermath of a bridge collapse that left piles of rubble on a major railway line.
The Hatfield Road Bridge in Hertfordshire, said to have been 100 years old, started to crumble suddenly in February 1966.
Men working on the line nearby were able to run to Hatfield Station and stop any trains approaching the scene.
Nobody was injured and the bridge was demolished the next day.
