On February 13, 2017, a Monday and the last day of a 3 day weekend, 13 year old Abigail Williams and 14 year old Liberty German were best friends, and being young teenagers, they wanted to try to fulfill their local rite of passage — walking across a disused, very tall railroad bridge.
From a Twitter thread from 2020. Everything old is new again.

BLOC EVOLVES.
