As the clown came into view they all went to one side of it, but the bridge didn't stand the weight and it collapsed." BBC News

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 16:22, 28 January 2019 (UTC).
Article is new enough (moved to mainspace today), long enough (7,500 characters of readable prose), and within policy. The hook is short enough and interesting. I definitely prefer the first Alt over the 2nd. Both photos appear to be properly licensed and sourced. Template:U, let me know when the QPQ is done and this should be good to go. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:17, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
