Default Minneapolis Bridge

Was just about ready to go out and shoot when the news flash came on about the bridge.My wife and I travel that bridge when we go to the Dome and to visit our friends down there....Been glued to the TV for 21/2 hours.

Looks like a bad scene. Six cofirmed dead, scores hurt. No doubt more to come. Been that way many times myself when th kids lived downtown. Now in Willmar and Delano so no need to go that way. See you live just down the road in Dent, Ranger. I'm in DL.

I have never been across that bridge. Sad all those people killed and lots more hurt. I'd say something ain't right with the materials they were using or shoddy work. I don't believe it was shoddy work!

That bridge was built back in what 1969 and was undergoing some repairs. They are thinking this may have caused stress on the bridge and it just gave out. They have teams of engineers and inspectors trying to find out what caused it to colapse.

Things like this really put life into perspective.
Prayers to all that lost a loved one.
