Minneapolis bridge collapses

[_Lisa_]

I've sent a text to a good friend of mine that lives in Minneapolis, she had an interview yesterday afternoon so I imagine she was out & about when this happened, I just don't know if she was on that bridge. I haven't heard back from her yet, but I don't have any other way to get in touch with her at the moment.

My thoughts & prayers are with the injured & families of lost loved ones.

Text messaging is incredibly incredibly slow. I am a few area codes away from the cities for the summer but because I have a 612 number I still am having a hard time making/receiving calls.

I had a feeling they would be, so instead of trying to call her every few minutes I'm just going to wait until she gets the text or I see her online. She hasn't been online since, which is unusual for her, so I'm just anxious to find out if she is OK.

If you want to tell me in a PM where she lives or works or goes to school (if you know) I can tell you if it was likely she took that bridge.

Even though they are very new, and they took forever to build them, this makes me freak out even more going over that expressway bridge in Ohio. The one where a few people died while building it? I think it's 280. It goes to the Ohio Turnpike. It is seriously so high up and if something like this were to happen, most likely everyone would die.

She just replied to my text! Thanks for the offer though, she said that she avoids the construction when headed south(?) although she had used it earlier in the day on her way to her interview. It is just such a relief to finally hear from her!

My sister is up in MN this summer but thankfully she was no where near the river or this bridge.

I hope they've found everyone

I haven't been able to get in touch with a friend of mine who lives there. I hope it is just because the lines are tied up. He never turns off his cell...
