Bridge collapse in Minnesota

Published by Karl at 12:02 am under general

I don’t know what to say, aside from Oh My God.

More than seven killed, dozens injured in bridge collapse

At the height of rush hour, a major Twin Cities traffic artery collapsed, sending at least 50 cars, and tons of steel and concrete crashing into the Mississippi River.

The Interstate 35W Bridge that MnDot has been working on all summer is now in the river.

At least seven people were killed and dozens more injured. Water patrol crews from around the metro searched the river for more victims, but called off their search around 10 p.m. saying it was simply too dark to continue.

My hearfelt prayers and wishes to the families and friends of those lost in this horrible event.
