Anyone watching this Bridge collapse news?

MSNBC reporting a bridge in Minnesota collapsing completely, people and cars falling into the water below which looks like a huge drop. Guy saying possibly up to 100 cars....sounds bad

I screwed up that thread merge. It ended up with Ted's thread title & Brutus's 1st post.

:think2: :think2:

What a mess. It doesn't sound like they have any idea how many cars went into the water.

Very unusual situation for a bridge to fail without ground movement such as an earthquake. Happened during the commute.

Ill get what Info I can.

Ive been across that bridge a hundred times or more...

Im paniced as many people we know would be in that area on a daily basis.

Local media not yet saying much more than the CNN's....

But I think recently there was construction on that bridge perhaps limiting cars in one direrctions

this is really close to the University of Minnesota and Metrodome
