I-35w Bridge Collapes In Minesota!

[mcdanielnc89]

At least 3 or confirmed dead with a report of at least 50 cars having plunged into the Mississippi.

This is the major insterstate (35W) that links St Paul to Minneapolis and is always busy. Very sad way to start the month of August.

Yeah, very sad. But pales in comparison to 9/11, Katrina, and the California bridge collapses years ago. Luckily not many people died from this one.

I actually watched a tragic event like this from afar. If you heard the maryland tanker trunk accident that killed 20 a year or two ago. WHere the tanker fell off the over pass and exploded burning multipel people alive. I saw the explosion on my way home from school 1 mile away. It's very sad, I hope that number stays at 6.

I've been watching CNN and currently they have it back down to 4 have passed on and about 60 some injured and 20 to 30 still missing. It's amazing how numbers change so quickly. They are currently in the stage of recovery instead of rescuing.

Our hearts go out to those involved with this tragedy.

any word on what caused the collapse?

Probably will not know for quite a while. As the road was under construction partially at the time. There are few ideas how ever it could be up to a year till something solid is confirmed as to why.

 

[mcdanielnc89]

ok.. how can it go down to 4 if they confirmd 7 dead? hmm

Obviously 3 people came back to life.
or those other 3 were just random bodies floating in the mississippi river.






It's just like on 9/11 when 20,000 were confirmed dead, then in the end it was like under 3000

OK OK, WHAT THE HELL HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH TROPICAL CHAT?
