The Maccabiah bridge collapse was the catastrophic failure of a pedestrian bridge over the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, Israel on July 14, 1997. The collapse of the temporary metal and wooden structure killed four and injured more than 60 Australian athletes and other team delegates who were visiting Israel to participate in the Maccabiah Games. One athlete died in the collapse and three died afterwards due to infections caused by exposure to the polluted river water. A subsequent investigation found that negligent shortcuts had been taken in the bridge's construction, mandatory permits and oversight had not been obtained, and the bridge's construction did not meet government requirements.

  • كان انهيار جسر المكابيا هو الحدث الكارثي لجسر المشاة فوق نهر العوجا في تل أبيب ، في إسرائيل في 14 يوليو 1997. أدى انهيار الهيكل الخشبي إلى مقتل أربعة وإصابة 69 رياضيًا أستراليًا كانوا يزورون إسرائيل للمشاركة في دورة الألعاب مكابيه . توفي أحد الرياضيين في الانهيار ، وتوفي ثلاثة بعد ذلك بسبب الإصابات الناجمة عن التعرض لمياه النهر الملوثة. وفي وقت لاحق ، أدين خمسة أشخاص ، من بينهم المهندس الذي صمم الجسر ورئيس اللجنة المنظمة لألعاب تل أبيب ، بتعمد التسبب في الوفاة والإصابة.

  • Op 14 juli 1997 stortte tijdens de Maccabiade in de Israëlische stad Tel Aviv een tijdelijke voetgangersbrug in die was aangelegd over de Jarkon-rivier. De instorting leidde tot de dood van vier Australische atleten. Een atleet overleed ter plekke aan zijn verwondingen, de drie anderen in de dagen erna ten gevolge van infecties door blootstelling aan het vervuilde rivierwater. Uit onderzoek bleek dat de tijdelijke brug niet aan de veiligheidseisen voldeed. Vier betrokkenen werden veroordeeld tot een gevangenisstraf terwijl een vijfde een taakstraf kreeg opgelegd. (nl)
