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!

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

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.

Minnesota Governor just said 70,000 bridges nationwide have the same “rating” that his bridge had.

The point is, that bridges just don’t fall from the sky.

What happened?
