Right.

Instead, I’d worry more about the lunacy of the public teat. Payouts to selfish morons and greedy businesses are not only sucking the well dry, they are unconstitutional in principle. Gov. just shouldn’t be handing out money to anyone.

There was a bridge we use to have to cross when going to the orthopedic rehab center at Stanford.

I HATED driving over that bridge.

Used to feel like I was going pass out the phobia was so bad do to it’s architectual design.

If you look at the green steel girders in the first frame, it looks like they are all buckled up, they straighten out as the bridge collapses. It would be nice to see the previous 15 seconds or so of the video.

Thanks for the link.

The lady in the red car: She was alone in the car; her husband brought the baby with him when he came to pick her up.

Light rail is a money losing boondoggle in any city it has been implemented.

The first dollar in any transportation budget -must- be allocated to maintaining the current infrastructure SO BRIDGES JUST DON’T FALL FROM THE SKY.

That movie was pretty bizarre. What did the people in that area think of it?

“The lady in the red car: She was alone in the car; her husband brought the baby with him when he came to pick her up.”

Thank God!

Presser underway.

The Secretary of Transportation is already in major CYA mode.

She said the poor rating of the last inspection had nothing to do with yesterday’s tragedy.

OMG!

Roads are money loosing too.

It appears the bridge was being tended to.

Why do you think one thing is causal of the other?

Maybe because the latest inspection was limited to the road surface only? Just asking.

Thank the Lord for the survival of the sixty plus kids on the school bus.

Isn't that amazing? When you see that bus leaning right up against the guard rail it's just something that it didn't go over the edge. Just a miracle.

I am not from the town where it happened. I am up the road.

but I have heard over the years that most locals that live down there along the river hated the movie because it was not based on the real story. A lot of Hollywood fluff.

How sad, police chief said someone was pinned in car and mortally injured, who said his goodbyes to loved ones, to be passed on by medical personel helping him.

The bridge inspection rating...half of all the bridges in MN have the same rating. It means the bridge should be maintained and slated for replacement sometime in the future. It does not mean that the bridge is unsafe for use.
