| Acting
as a forensic investigator, can you solve the riddle of why
the Tay Bridge collapsed?
Each
section contains direct contemporary evidence for you to consider:
eye witness reports, photographs, metal testing reports, engineer
statements.
When looking
at the evidence, you should assess how reliable it might be
and whether it contradicts another piece of evidence. You
can also read related extracts from the Chairman’s report
from the Board of Trade inquiry. Although this is the official
report, it is the Chairman’s conclusions, which you may not
necessarily agree with.
This interactive
tool will generate a response based on your analysis of the
evidence and point towards a conclusion for the Tay Bridge
disaster.
