Title: Guess I'll start it "Minneapolis Bridge Collapse" Post by: GrizzlyGator on August 02, 2007, 07:57:47 AM Man can you imagine the terrifying feeling of a bridge just falling out from under you while riding on it. I know we all whether we think about it or not put a lot of faith in all of our man made luxuries. I'm sorry for the loss of life but if there was some good news they said that the traffic was standing still and everyone wasn't going 55mph at the time...could have been much worse. I also saw where a school bus full of kids just MISSED going over too, MAN!!

Last I heard it was 9 confirmed. I mean, If the traffic was sitting still then there had to have been 50 cars or better on that bridge. God bless the families of everyone involved.

I think I heard that the bridge was under construction. I wounder who will be found accountable for this? Some engineer's oversite probably :dunno.gif

Title: Re: Guess I'll start it "Minneapolis Bridge Collapse" Post by: outtolunch on August 03, 2007, 02:34:19 PM I use to travel that bridge everyday, my family still does. Everybody from my family is alright, thank god. I'm listening to 92KQRS morning show, prevoius taped yesterday. They are talking to the big bald guy they kept showing on fox. He was driving a semi, that went down with the bridge. Sad day, for sure.
He just got done saying, the reporters were all over him asking what happened, he told them "look around you azzhole's the bridge just collapsed." |
