I-35 Bridge collapse
|
|
OMG, How close is that to you Scott?
Hope no one was killed... Paul |
I'm about an hour away, but have been across that bridge countless times. It's a MAJOR artery, handling somewhere around 150,000 to 200,000 cars per day.
7 dead... so far. |
It looks as if it gave away on both sides and in the center. Wow, what a terrible thing to happen.
|
So far.....no one I know directly has been affected. A lot of people that would have been real close had they not stayed late at work, left late for the Twins game, took a different route due to congestion, etc. Whew.:hail:
My Mother in Law knew the people on the schoolbus through her work. It sounds like there are some broken backs and legs on the adults, but the kids are okay. :omg: Kind of freaky when it is this close and a road that you travel once in awhile. Randy |
I drive a big truck and just went over that bridge a week ago. I always wonder when I am driving over a big bridge that it will hold me and all the other weight going across. Prayers sent to all affected.

It brings to mind the Bay Bridge collapse (although not as big) and the Cypress Freeway collapse during the 1989 earthquake here in the Bay Area. Never a good thing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims.

Here are some pictures taken by a guy on one of our local forums.
