Default Re: Bridge collapses in Minnesota

[ QUOTE ]
I don't cross that bridge that much - almost crossed it last week - it's about 60 feet off the ground.

heard they were resurfacing - I know that stretch of 35W was closed this weekend cause I tried to cross it but couldn't - train was passing under one side of it and the span collapsed on the tracks, so maybe the freight train vibrations took something down -

reports are it was shaking and rocking and then just started collapsing like it was made of cards -

one fatality (possibly 3) - local news is keeping us up to date - I'm about a mile away at work -

about 100K cars cross it every day -

whiskeytown,

It is a fact that the train we see crushed by part of the bridge was moving during the collapse?
