Probably just local news right now.
Would assume it will be on the national news shortly. This is a MAJOR bridge in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, there are probably fatalities.

Fox News has it now.
People in the water, cars burning with people in them. No idea why the bridge collapsed.

Good point. I still hope it wasn’t full, bad enough with only a driver.
