LOL. Exactly. I was yelling at the TV. The yellow school bus is in clear view. Shep is clueless.

FOX News is reporting people are in panic trying to get in touch with loved ones.
One lady said the bridge was loaded with rush hour traffic
This is just horrible.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Eyewitness: Collapse occurred at rush hour. Bridge was full of vehicles in traffic.

HOLY CRAP
This is a catastrophic systemic stuctural failure.
one section went down and brought down the rest fo the bridge. This is NOT supposed to happen. I dont get how a resurfacing project could do this.

The bridge before...Looks like a fairly sturdy design, but it also looks a little rusty around the closest support pylon in the picture. If something like that failed, it would come down.

Twins are here and at 7PM and the Wolves were having a big presser downtown too.

Half the things Shep’s saying he’s qualifying by adding that it’s a report they’ve receive but haven’t been able to verify.
