A road bridge collapsed into a river in Afton, Tennessee, as the remnants of Helene, now a tropical depression, caused widespread flooding across several states.
Video shows the moment the Kisner Bridge on Highway 107 collapsed into the Nolichucky River.
Residents south of the river, especially in the vicinity of Highway 107, are facing critical challenges, with many of them isolated cut off from basic services like food, water and medical care, officials said. Efforts are underway to bring aid to isolated areas, officials said.

The moment they realized that they were trapped. 😮
Don't worry Pete Buttjuice will take care of you . NOT !
As somebody who travels a lot I'm going to miss that bridge
Highway to Hell.
Yet only a stairway to Heaven?
Get an Army Engineer company over there set up a temporary bridge
Do you give a thumbs up for the event or the video that was taken? I say No Thumbs for this.
Let’s see how dumb we can be and stand on the bank of a flooded river of logs and trees! 🤡
Keep voting for people who say climate change is a hoax
Repent!! Turn away from your sins, turn away from the world and the things of the world that are taking you to hell and turn/return to Jesus Christ to be saved. This is the beginning of the wrath of God being poured out on America and it’s not going to end until there’s nothing left of America because God intends to destroy this country. War and more catastrophes are coming to America. There’s no stopping it. Turn to Jesus Christ to save yourself.
This is why we need to get back to basics and invest more in engineering and infrastructure…not tech
The catastrophic loss from Helene is really heartbreaking. Multiple states are feeling it. I hope this is a wake up call, for people to demand more efforts into fighting climate change. Or else nature will kill all of us.
SERIOUSLY SIR … MOVE AWAY!!!
🤦🏻♀️
SOMEONE COME GET EARL FROM THE POWERFUL CURRENT… THANK YOU!!!
😂😅😂
At one end of the World, fire is taking over, at the other end, water is taking over. I believe it's safe to say that God is VERY UPSET…
Yall done have that now and then an stuff like at.
Made in America ain't what it used to be.
It will be years until that area is back to normal. There are construction and cleanup companies salivating over the fortunes they’ll make off this disaster.
That bridge looked like it was ready to go a long time ago.
Infrastructure??? America will build a bridge 🌉 over a pond, get 😮real folks, I can rebuild these areas in a heartbeat
This happens every week now. Believe in climate change yet?
Like a bridge over troubled water
How come none of you were playing the banjo? It would’ve made a great addition to this movie.
It looks like the guardrails to the bridge are wooden leaving me to wonder what else is/was wooden on it.
7 seconds…. that bridge was gone
How does that meteor affect us?
Except for God Himself water in any form is the most powerful force on the planet. Not enough and we die. Too much and we die or lose everything. My condolences to those affected by this storm.
