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.”

CBS describes that several train cars under the bridge were crushed, and at least one person dead has been recovered from the MS river. This occurred around 605 pm. Some construction was said to be not on the bridge, but a bit further along the highway. Not explained so far.

This is FAR worse. On the Bay Bridge it was one 20’ section that fell. One side let loose and the other stayed put. This is an entire bridge. . .God help the victims and rescue workers.
