    If you all haven't heard, just turn on the news.
    This is a very sad sight.

    What freaks me out is.... how many vehicles and people are IN the water under that bridge?

    Now the death count is up to 6.

    Re: Minneapolis I-35W Bridge Collapse

    It's about 2 miles south of where I am right now. I was just in shock, it was rush hour and I know some of my co-workers take that way home. I won't know until tomorrow if everyone is all right. WCCO news has a constantly running video feed on their website at http://wcco.com/ I've been glued to it all night. It's just horrible.

    The school bus had 60 kids from a day camp coming home from a field trip. They were able to get them all out safely but a little banged up.

    How does a bridge like that just randomly collapse?

    http://wcco.com/slideshows/local_sli.../view?slide=21

    Look at the description of that picture...Well no :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: sherlock...where the cars gonna go when there is no bridge?

    And drowning, that is my only fear and it terrifies me...

    Re: Minneapolis I-35W Bridge Collapse

    that's horrible. that's like 2 hours north of me... far away enough that i'm not worried about loved ones but close enough to REALLY make you stop and think... i can't imagine what is going on in those people's heads!
