Minneapolis bridge collapses

[jon1856]

From what I just heard on CNN, this may collapse MAY BE very closely related to the The Mianus Bridge Collapse:

Seems as if there was a report in one of the local papers several years ago talking about the possibility of some connectors failing.

Sheesh...very scary. I can't believe it! I used that bridge about every single day, back in the day. I just sent an e-mail out to the two people I still keep in close touch with who still live there. And I'm starting to hear welfare reports about others I know more indirectly. But everyone is so inter-related in the Upper Midwest that I'm sure I'll hear about so-and-so who knows or is related to so-and-so had a near miss, etc. Hopefully nothing worse than that.
