Click on the tab that says "Cameras" and then anywhere on 35 between 94 and 36.

I just found the CNN video showing the collapse:

That video is pretty phenomenal. I wonder was it taken from the North or from the South? The North side fell first, right?

I heard from my friend. He is ok! He actually went over the bridge just 1 HOUR before the collapse!!!

And DeltAlum...tried to quote part of your post, zapped it away.
This is a small world getting smaller. Re: Gallipolis, Point Pleasant.
My mom and aunt are heading for a cruise (which sounds good in this stupid heat). Will ask when they get back. My dad was from a big family, but he died awhile back, and after my parents divorced when I was pre teen, the connection with his side of the family was lost. I hear that many in his family are now in Cleveland and (??) newark.

I spent a summer with my grandparents, also deceased, before going into high school. Their house faced a park in town. It is ridiculous how lacking in family history I am.
