Re: Bridge collapsed in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS - A freeway bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed Wednesday, sending many cars into the water.
ADVERTISEMENT
Tons of concrete have collapsed and people are injured. Survivors are being carried up the riverbank.
The entire span of the 35W bridge collapsed about 6:05 p.m. where the freeway crosses the river near University Avenue.
Some people are stranded on parts of the bridge that aren't completely in the water.
A tractor-trailer is on fire at the collapse scene.

Yes they inspect bridges. Who knows if it is done properly.
They don't know how it happened yet, but they were doing renovation on the bridge which included using a jack hammer. Who knows at this point?

I have one of those safety hammers that have a part to cut through the seatbelt and the other part can break the car window. I am such a freak about it.

Re: Bridge collapsed in Minnesota
Homeland security said they cannot confirm it was terrorism.
none of the witnesses heard a bomb, which cannot be missed. they all just heard a rumbling.
