35W Bridge Collapse

Well I'm alive. I happened to cross the 35W bridge a few hours before it collapsed on my way to and back from lunch, since I work right next to it. Man that's scary! How does a bridge just collapse for no reason?

This morning I (along with everyone else in Minneapolis) went to the Mississippi River to survey the damage. A truly sobering experience as you can see vehicles strewn about the bridge, which lay in shambles and rescue workers all over the scene.

My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of those that weren't so fortunate.
