Re: Bridge collapses in Minnesota
it really depends on how the bridge went down. if it went down fast it could obviously be really bad. if it collapsed slowly and sunk, people may have had more time to get out of their cars and swim.
terrible news

Re: Bridge collapses in Minnesota
Some people are idiots.
Eyewitness: I thought no big deal(after seeing the bridge collapse).

Re: Bridge collapses in Minnesota
My godkids' daycare is more or less right under this bridge on the north side. I was both over and under it yesterday. Fortunately they and their parents were home already and are OK.

Re: Bridge collapses in Minnesota
This is crazy. I used to drive across that bridge every day going to/from work. 6 months ago there is a decent chance I'd be crossing it right around that time. I drove across it last night at that time on the way to the Twins game.
I talked to a friend who had driven across it about 2 minutes before hand. He had driven about 2-3 blocks down University (the exit is at the end of the bridge) when he heard/felt it happen.
