The communities of Port Isabel and South Padre Island gathered Tuesday morning to remember the victims of the Sept. 15, 2001, causeway collapse.
A barge hit the causeway that day, severing the bridge that links Port Isabel and South Padre Island.
Eight people died after they drove across the causeway — not knowing about the accident — and their cars plunged into the water. Three people survived.
After the accident, a safety system was added to the causeway.
