Dude, I saw a report that a few years ago they did a over all study of the bridges in the US and 60% were rated as poor because of the increased traffic we have now. Its just another bullet in my belt concerning my opinion of, its nice to be the good guy and help the world but, its time time to take care of ourselves for awhile. We need to reastablish our priorities and I hope the next administration has the same point of view. This is just my opinion.

Truly a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families.

Life seems to be going on just fine, and then crap like this happens. What a terrible tragedy.

Thanks guys, I live in Minneapolis and work less than 5 miles from the bridge. I tell you, it is just surreal around here right now. No one can believe it. They are saying that the death toll could easily be 30 before its all said and done. My father in law also has a coworker with a connection to someone who was on the phone on the bridge when it collapsed, the phone went dead and he is still missing. Keep the prayers coming, I am praying with you.

Yes it was in Minnesota, but the bridge fell into the Miss. river.

It's a miracle that there isn't a larger death toll.  Prayers still being sent.

You took the words outta my mouth.  The Osama's won't have to destroy our infrastructure.  If we don't start rebuilding the levees, and bridges, etc. we'll destroy ourselves from sheer neglect.

I don't think a "poor" rating means collapse is imminent.

Well then I guess that "poor" rating was a pretty poor rating indeed.

Touch é. I consider the incident an exception and not the rule, however.
