Just turned on the news. 35W bridge collapsed in the Mississippi River. Cars, trucks, semis.....
Fires burning, tanker trucks, at least one school bus, more than ten cars......
Just now breaking.......

Royals
Horrible.
Prayers for those folks.
LOL. Exactly. I was yelling at the TV. The yellow school bus is in clear view. Shep is clueless.
I heard all the kids on the bus are ok. They are shook up but ok! Thank God!
THank you.
They are playing the KC Royals tonight.
FOX News is reporting people are in panic trying to get in touch with loved ones.
One lady said the bridge was loaded with rush hour traffic
This is just horrible.
Eyewitness: Collapse occurred at rush hour. Bridge was full of vehicles in traffic.
“we just spent how many zillion on public transit that no one uses.”

Light rail,

Klobuchar worked closely with Subcommittee Chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) to win approval of $65 million for the construction of the Northstar Corridor Rail Project between Big Lake and downtown Minneapolis.
brings to mind San Francisco and the earthquake during the game.
HOLY CRAP
This is a catastrophic systemic stuctural failure.
one section went down and brought down the rest fo the bridge. This is NOT supposed to happen. I dont get how a resurfacing project could do this.
Looks like a fairly sturdy design, but it also looks a little rusty around the closest support pylon in the picture. If something like that failed, it would come down.
Twins are here and at 7PM and the Wolves were having a big presser downtown too.
Half the things Shep’s saying he’s qualifying by adding that it’s a report they’ve receive but haven’t been able to verify.
Same here. Hundreds of times.
Wow! That photo shows what a close call that school bus had. Prayers up for all involved.
Yes, I am praying...
In Jesus’ Holy name.
Amen.
