We understanding that William Branham took Pastor Pearry Green underneath the Municipal bridge, and pointed out the exact section of the bridge that fell into the river. The problem is not in Pearry Green's retelling of the story - as he did not grow up in Jeffersonville and had no reason to doubt William Branham - the problem lies with William Branham's recollection of the facts and the prophecy. Again, there is no historic indication that any section or portion of the Municipal Bridge fell into the Ohio river. | We understanding that William Branham took Pastor Pearry Green underneath the Municipal bridge, and pointed out the exact section of the bridge that fell into the river.

William Branham was living in Arizona, not Jeffersonville, when the Municipal Bridge was built. When he returned to Jeffersonville on the news of his brother's passing in 1929, the new bridge would have been a significant new landmark.
