Highway bridge falls into Mississippi River
A four-lane interstate bridge spanning the Mississippi River collapsed Wednesday during evening rush hour in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sending vehicles crashing into the water. Local television stations captured video of injured people being carried up the riverbank

Now it's three dead.

Next they are going to take Florida away from Gore.

I live here this is crazy I heard about itr before the news had a story to tell

Anyone want to bet the chicken hiding in Pakistan will claim some sort of responsibility?

Our local news has said 1 dead last 90 minutes as of 930 eastern not sure who is right

Rush hour traffic and the bridge was under repair built during the 60's

With a train going over it too.

ya, it happens

Doubt it. He still hasn't claimed 9-11 as his own.

It's pretty fucked up you can see parts from my balcony ;\

Can't even call friends atm cause the switchboards are so jammed

there will be several dead here - this is a major catastrophy - I hope they can save those who are suffering asap - this is sad sad

That's scary!!! what kind of cement was used to make that bridge to make people die?

It's not the cement that fails, it the steel superstructure.

i was about to post, geez i always have a fear of falling on those things

Mothman!

There still finding cars in the river no doubt the death count will rise but seems low so far for the scale of it.

Damn.. a bridge around here that was being built collapsed today too

I drive this bridge all the time - on Tuesday, actually. They've had construction crews on it for as long as I can remember.

Another reason to avoid rush hour and work @ home.

Man that is sad.

I remember the one in Tampa years ago.
