I always hated bridges especially when I was young. My dad insisted on driving on the water side each time.

There are better means of revenge than lawsuits.

Not quite, but it will be totally dark in about a half hour. So they are losing daylight, hopefully they got everyone out of the Mississippi river already.

I noticed no traffic on the neighboring bridge.

I’m sure it was a precaution.

When will the bridge still standing be opened for traffic?

Will they go with two way traffic then?

Hey, I didn’t know you went to H.S. here. This sure does seem like deja vu to the people here, does it not? I don’t think there is a single person here who was not affected in some way.

I think you are correct. Homeland Security could hardly know without a doubt what caused this. And they DO treat us like stupid imbeciles who cannot be trusted.

Kind of reminds me of when that colossal stench settled over NYC and the Government came out and said: “We have no idea what it is, but it’s nothing to worry about...”

Bridge was closed down to one lane due to surface work. The bridge is several lanes wide. This could’ve been much worse fatality wise IMHO.
