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.

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.

Kind of freaky when it is this close and a road that you travel once in awhile.

My girlfriend's mom works near there, but took today off, luckily. And her brother lives nearby as well. I called her to see how they were after I heard it happen and we found out they were ok. Not around when it happened. Insane and I send my best wishes to anyone involved.

I have been on that bridge many times. That one worries me a lot.
