Thawing ice has succeeded in nearly taking out a bridge in flood-hit New Brunswick, Canada.
This footage shows ice floes slipping under a bridge in Sainte-Marie de Kent – and apparently shifting the entire bridge up to six feet.
The clip was uploaded to YouTube on 17 April.
On the Canaan River the Cherryvale covered bridge, which was built in 1927, was swept clean away by the floodwaters.

The Pine Lake Tornado(14 of144)
The tornado was classified as an F3, when it descended on the shores of Pine Lake in central Alberrta on the evening of July 14, 2000.The twister killed 12 people and injured more than 100 others when it left a swath of destruction approximately 8oo metres wide and 1.5 km long through a campground and trailer park. It's estimated the tornado touched ground for nearly 40 minutes.

Hinton Train Collision(17 of144)
It's one of the worst preventable losses of life in Alberta's history. Twenty-three people were killed and 71 injured when a CN Railway freight train collided head on with a Via Rail passenger train near Hinton, on the morning of Feb. 8, 1986.An investigation following the crash determined the CN train failed to observe control measures, jumped a switch and entered a section of single track that eventually brought the two trains into a fatal collision course.

The Slave Lake Wildfire(20 of144)
The Slave Lake Wildfire burned through the town of Slave Lake in northern Alberta but originated as a forest fire approximately 15 kilometres outside the town boundary on May 14, 2011.Although the town's entire population of 7,000 people had to be evacuated, the only casualty was a Montreal-based helicopter pilot, who crashed while battling the historic blaze.

The Slave Lake Wildfire(22 of144)
The fire, which caused an estimated $700M in damage, making the wildfire the second costliest disaster in Canadian history, ravaged one third of the town, destroyed hundreds of homes, the town hall, library, radio station, a mall and churches.

The fire left 732 people homeless and was described by fire personnel as unprecedented in it's speed and destructive power. Including the town, the blaze charred 12,000 acres. An investigation concluded the cause for the fire was human activity.

Frank Slide(27 of144)
A gigantic rock slide that buried a great portion of the town of Frank, in the province's southwest corner, is the worst natural disaster in Alberta history.It was in the dark early hours of April 29, 1903, when an entire side of the Rocky Mountain slope overwatching the mining town collapsed into the valley floor, taking with it the mine, homes and entire families.

In less than two minutes, 90 million tons of rock slid down the side of Turtle Mountain, crushing and burying the occupants of the town where they slept.It's still not known how many people perished in the slide, with estimates running between 70 and 90. Most of the dead, remain where they died.

Hillcrest Mine Explosion (31 of144)
When the Hillcrest mine exploded on June 9, 1914, it took with it 189 workers. The coal mine explosion, which devastated the town of Hillcrest Mines in the southwest corner of the province, left 130 women widowed and approximately 400 children fatherless. It is, to this day, the worst mining disaster in Canadian history.

Edmonton Tornado(34 of144)
The most destructive tornado in Alberta history was an F4 twister that ripped through the eastern parts of Edmonton and neighbouring Strathcona County in the afternoon of July 31 1987.The tornado killed 27 people and injured more than 300 others, as it cut a swath of destruction nearly 40 kilometres long and one kilometre wide.

The twister destroyed 300 homes and caused more than half-a-billion dollars (in 2013 dollars) in damage. Winds inside the tornado are believed to have reached 416 km/h.

The Bellevue Mine Explosion(39 of144)
Despite several complaints and government orders to make the southwestern Alberta mine safer, nothing was done in earnest until the coal facility exploded on the evening of Dec. 9, 1910. But in the end, it wasn't the blast that claimed most of the lives lost in the event but the carbon monoxide that poisoned the men trapped below. Altogether, 31 men were killed inside the mine that day.
The Chinchaga River Fire(40 of144)

The Chinchaga River Fire(41 of144)
The Chinchaga River fire didn't actually start in Alberta, but just on the other side of the border in northeastern B.C. However, by the time it started to spread northeastward and crossed the Alberta border in the summer of 1950, it was moving with purpose and speed.The fire didn't claim any lives but it burned an estimated 4.2 million acres and gave birth to "the Great Smoke Pall," which turned day into night as far away as Toronto. It was reported that, like in Toronto, streetlights in New York, Washington D.C., and as far south as Florida, had to be turned on midday due to the unusual darkness.
The Chinchaga River Fire(42 of144)
It was reported that because Alberta seemed to think little of the fire at the time and didn't really advertize it, those affected by the haze - which travelled high in the atmosphere and projected next to no smoke smell at ground level - in eastern Canada and U.S. had no idea what was causing the darkness leading many to ponder apocalyptic causes. The fire burned for months before it finally extinguished itself in September. It produced the largest burned area ever recorded on the continent.
Drought And The Great Depression(43 of144)

Drought And The Great Depression(44 of144)
The severe drought of 1934 started with an unnatural winter with no snow, and sharp cold, followed by extreme heat in the spring and summer that set the stage for catastrophe. This was recorded as the hottest year of the 20 century in North America. Some farmers had suffered 3 consecutive crop failures. A grasshopper plague invaded one thousand, six hundred square miles. The stories of their numbers are awesome and by mid May the black blizzard extended from Drumheller to Medicine Hat. The unceasing winds this year swept away the topsoil. Then, on July 12, one hail storm extending from Carstairs to Stettler pounded all that remained into mush.
Drought And The Great Depression (45 of144)
Thousands of turkeys, chickens, waterfowl and rabbits are battered to death. The old timers said that the real dirty thirties had begun for this area. In the southern half of the prairies, forty thousand families and a half million head of livestock struggled for survival. The summer agricultural fairs had to be abandoned; there is nothing to exhibit. Before the end of the depression a half million farmers would leave the most severely affected areas.

Calgary Hail Storm 2012(48 of144)
Calgary Hail Storm 2012It probably won't make many history books, as no one had to be evacuated, no one died and the land was not permanently scarred. But the price tag associated with the summer hail storm of 2012 leaves its mark in the sheer cost of damage it cost. The hail that pummeled the city and surrounding area during the event dented cars, smashed windows, damaged roofs and punched through siding, to the tune of $552M, the costliest such storm in record. The damage caused by the golf ball-sized projectiles accounted for more than half of all insurance claims across the country last year.
