The pictures are amazing. The bridge just collapsed. Here's the AP's report:
The entire span of a four-lane interstate bridge over the Mississippi River collapsed during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending vehicles, tons of concrete and twisted metal crashing into the water.Um, yes, I'd say our infrastructure is in serious trouble. Bridges getting blown up in Baghdad we've sadly come to expect. Bridges between major American cities just collapsing is the sign of a very big problem.
The Interstate 35W bridge, which spans between Minneapolis and St. Paul, was under construction when it broke into several huge sections. Dozens of vehicles were scattered and stacked on top of each other amid the rumble.
CNN just reported that there are 50 cars plunged into the Mississippi River.
