4 dead, 60 injured, 20 missing.

It was at Minneapolis.  The collapse was during rush hour and it was packed with cars.  I've been across the Mississippi at Davenport Iowa and also at St Louis, Mo.  That's a huge river.   :(

Nightmarish... the current would make rescue/recovery very difficult even without all the debris... this is just awful!

I'd put CNN on this morning right after this happened and they'd just started getting footage in. A terrible thing to happen [smiley=sad.gif]

If you've got proof that Katrina and this bridge collapse are some sort of conspiracy then I'd like to hear it.



Here are my consipiracy theories...

Katrine was started by a butterfly, and the Engineers who built the bridge that just collapsed had ties to the Tacoma Narrows bridge.

Those you presented with tongue firmly planted in cheek make about as much sense as those presented by others in all seriousness.
