I hope it isn’t a terrorist attack...bridges were a big concern after 9/11!
To: maryz
Good point. I still hope it wasn’t full, bad enough with only a driver.

OMG! This is terrible. It's a very substantial part of the bridge that's down. Watch when they pan out with the camera - it's an incredible mess.
Prayers up!!
