Minneapolis Bridge Collapse
du Nord, August 2, 2007
All is well.All are wellUnbelievable.I was near there when it went down.It is very close to the University of Minnesota (where I work) on one side of the river and Metrodome on the other side of the river.I use the Washington Street bridge and the Hennepin Avenue bridge twice a day and the bridge that went down is between them.It happened at 6:05pm.I was on Wash bridge at that time but I saw or heard nothing.Then 10 minutes later there were emergency vehicles coming from every direction.10 min after that I was on Henn bridge and saw all the black smoke.Some one on the bus said the I-35 bridge has collapsed.I didn't understand until about 6:45pm when I got home and turned on the TV.I was stunned by what I saw.It actually took me several minutes of looking at the pictures to orient myself and figure out just how bad it was.It's bad.Talk soon,Bruce
