I don't know how many of you have ever heard of the Mothman until the 
movie came out today. "The Mothman Prophecies." The Mothman is our 
"Bigfoot" in the area. I live across the Ohio River from where he 
supposedly lives. I also fly out of the same airport that he would. The 
airport is right next to the TNT area. I have not seen the movie or the 
Mothman yet, but I guess the movie makes reference to our biggest local 
tragedy, the collapse of the Silver Bridge on Dec 15, 1967. The bridge 
was loaded with Christmas traffic and people going home from work. I 
think it fell sometime after 5pm. Some people heard it up to 15 miles 
away.

Here's some links if you are interested...

Pt. Pleasant has been in decline ever since the bridge disaster. They 
don't even have a theater to show the movie in.
Just thought some of you might find it interesting,
