Why the Oberbaumbrücke?

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2011)

If you have visited Berlin, the choice of location on the "Oberbaumbrücke" for the accident should be questionable but only logically. If you go to seek directions from Google maps for Hotel Adlon to Tegel Airport there are indeed two river crossings. Go to street view and you end up with two rather ordinary looking bridges, neither of which are the scene of the taxi accident. Type in "Oberbaumbrücke" on Google maps and note the location in relation to the route between Hotel Adlon and Tegel Airport. Go to street view and there's the scene of the accident. Now that's a nice bridge with some history, and a spectacular backdrop for the scene of the accident.
