7 Killed in Minneapolis Bridge Collapse

[redhatman]

This truly has touched all of Minnesota, and will probably affect the U.S. entirely. This is a major road in minnesota, one of the few to get downtown. This bridge is about 20 minutes away from my house, and is a common route for our friends and family to get downtown, or just travel.

This is a horrible situation, not because of just loved ones lost, but the fact it will also take months to clean up, and years and years to replace.

As of now, there are 7 killed, at least 60 injured, maybe more missing, and lots of discomforted families.

My thoughts and prayers definitely go out to the families and the state of MN.

I hope it's not on the route I'm going to have to drive coming home from Wisconsin.

The last I heard there were 4 confirmed dead but I'm sure that will go up due to the fact there are cars underwater yet. My prayers go2 all the people in MN what a tragedy. Alot of our truck drivers go over that bridge daily so we were quite concerned for they're safety as well. Thankgoodness they were'nt on it at the time of the collaps.
