I can’t say how many times I’ve been over this bridge...one just assumes that it’s simply a minor extension off of solid ground and that nothing will ever happen. Just goes to show that the unexpected can happen, well, any time.
So far, I feel that the officials have done an outstanding job of conducting the rescue/recovery. Kudos to all involved with their efforts in this time of tragedy.
My brother in law works in DT Mpls; he crossed the bridge on his way home tonight at 5:55 pm. Had he been ten minutes later, I wouldn’t be posting this comment; I’d be consoling a widowed sister.
Prayers to all affected by this terrible tragedy from a humble St Paul-ite.
Great news, Dave!
Thank goodness he is okay! Sounds like there are quite a few fortunate stories with freepers here tonight.
So glad to hear your family is ok. Close call! Buckle your seat belt for many years to come on this one.
Thank goodness you have good news from your BIL!
Prayers for Minneapolis tonight.
Wow, that's crazy. Makes you think of sayings like, "don't sweat the small stuff".
