Exclamation Minneapolis Major Bridge Collapse...

The I-35W Bridge over the Mississippi River collapsed during rush hour.

Holy crap. I (and tons of other people) take that bridge almost every day for work.

That's pretty insane though. Somebody is going to get sued.

My Sister lives in Ham Lake and was on that bridge earlier that day as she only lives about 20 miles north. I have driven over that bridge twice. I never liked bridges. The one in CA, known as Coronado bridge is what I frequented twice a day for four years. I would zip across that thing as fast as I could.

Hope everyone here, their relatives, friends, acquaintances, etc. are all OK.

At work we have the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineeers) report card for all the infrastucture in the USA. It's pretty grim. WE better start uing our tax dollars to repair/replace everything or this tragedy is going to be repeated many times. Heck, we take a lot better care of our SVXes (even with bad trannys, bearings, rotors, and droopy sun visors) than the state DOTs take care of the roads.

No way! If we do that, we don't have all the billions of dollars left to spend on pointless wars in the middle east!
