Minneapolis bridge collapses

I haven't heard from a ton of my friends yet but nobody's cell phone is able to make a call. My law school is a mile or so from there, it's so scary.

I hope everyone you know is OK.
any word yet what the cell problem is?

I would assume it's much like 9/11 where all the circuits are jammed from everyone trying to make calls.

I'm glad you're okay. I think this is the only time I'll be glad my friends who lived in the cities moved to AZ this week.

Thanks. I finally got to talk to one of my best friends about two hours after the collapse. He can't get ahold of any of his undergrad fraternity brothers or our law school friends. Apparently medical students from the University of Minnesota came rushing into the river to help.

That's just what I told a friend from Minneapolis attempting to call his friends there--it's just like then, the circuits got overloaded and I couldn't get through to my friends and family in NYC, either.
