Just turned on the news. 35W bridge collapsed in the Mississippi River. Cars, trucks, semis.....
Fires burning, tanker trucks, at least one school bus, more than ten cars......
Just now breaking.......
He said he has been hearing that this bridge disaster is similar to the scenes we saw of the bridge collapse during the 1989 Quake in the Bay Area. His response was “I was there, this is worse.”
prayer bump
They’re a piece of work, aren’t they?
It doesn't look like there is any sign of an explosion and that is about the only way a terrorist could do this. I looks to me like structural failure.
praying with you.
May the LORD strengthen the hands of the rescue workers, shine his light to reveal those in need and comfort all concerned.
We just contacted my aunt who lives near Minneapolis. She has already gotten in touch with all of our relatives up there and they are all safe.
They’ve closed the dam to control the current.
You got a web scanner feed URL?
Thanks
Don’t go over the GW or Brooklyn Bridges tonight or tomorrow!
Praying and gasping at the extent of this disaster.
TG my granddaughter who goes to University there is at home this summer!
Prayers up for all those who have relatives and friends who may have been on that bridge.
TG the school bus stayed intact and all the kids got off with just bumps and cuts.
FNC: Department of Homeland Security says this does not appear to be an act of terrorism.
Lets get this straight, a jackhammer would not cause a bridge to collapse.
The Dept of Homeland security just said it was not.
What crap they already know that?
40 year old bridges in high-salt areas can, if not properly maintained and inspected.
The US 51 bridge that collapsed in Tennessee was only about 10 years older, and was in an area where much less salt would have been used on the roadway, although that collapse was blamed not on corrosion, but on the effect of the river on the piers.
Light traffic on the bridge. Not so light on the Cypress Structure freeway that collapsed. That’s where the most fatalities happened.
Can’t get ahold of my SIL who lives just outside Minneapolis. She works at one of the hospitals there. Calls not going thru.
Prayers for everyone involved!!
Channel 9 says that Homeland Security has issued a statement saying that they do not believe the bridge collapse to be terror-related. But they are investigating the situation.
