I know that the bridge was bumper to bumper traffic at the time, so HOW many cars actually fell into the river? You know it had to be quite a lot. Drivers that made it over the bridge, just to see it fall in their rearview mirrors, said cars were just dropping into the river.

I heard someone say that the bridge is 1900 feet and the average car is about 12 to 14 ft. long. Not sure if the traffic was down to two lanes each way or one lane. The liberal politicians are on TV already exploiting this tragedy for more tax dollars. Disgusting.

exploiting this tragedy for more tax dollars

As others have mentioned, 800 Million in taxpayer bonds were floated for light rail and the highway program suffered. I assume that the liberals will own up on that nonsense.
