I'm glad you're safe Billy.

I am pleased people from here are all ok. I just hope that all your family and friends are safe too.

Is scary when something like this happens.

On the news last night they were estimating it could take months to investigate to find the cause. There are no "smoking guns". The construction they wee doing on the bridge was just surface work. No joint or structural work, so it is highly unlikely related. Or so was said anyway...

sad day for us here in minneapolis. for those poor souls who were on the bridge when it collapsed.

i heard that on the radio this morning. i heard the lawyer respresenting the crew doing the work on the bridge. he was making it very clear that they were doing no steele, joint or structural work.

but then i also heard on the radio that findings in the inspection of the bridge in 2004 reccommended the bridge be replaced. although the 2005 and 2006 inspections did not make that reccomendation.

the police department is currently treating this as a crime scene. mpld pd chief dolan said there is just no way to rule anything in or out at this time.

there are going to be lots of questions. and this is going to be a long process.

i am so glad that everyone i know is ok.

my heart goes out to anyone who is involved or has family/freinds involved.

XxAxX said:

heh...he's only been outta town a couple weeks, and the city's already falling apart (literally) missing him.

btw, i'm glad to see more mpls folks checking in. i'm glad ya'll are okay.

This looks like a combination of metal fatigue of the truss, weight from cars/road materials and years of wear and tear.

My prayers go out to the people of Minnie.

I am grateful for all of your well being..

I'm glad everyone who frequents the Org seems to have not been involved in the catastrophe and are all safe.

I live about an hour and a half drive southeast of Minneapolis, so fortunately I don't go along that stretch of road too often. I think the last time was maybe early December. Still, I don't know if I'll ever feel safe again driving across some of those bridges in the Twin Cities. At least the ones I do have to drive across and under in the Rochester area are either fairly new or brand new.

me either. we have miles and miles of that kind of raod around here. there are so many lakes amd rivers and streams to traverse, that sort of construction is everywhere.

Leann and Sandy (Tangey and Goldeneyez)??
Brian and his family?
Tim, what about him?
What about J?

Please check in I'm going to phone Leann later, no use in clogging up the lines now even though I'm aching to call - Leann and Sandy don't drive but I don't know where they live in relation to the bridge - people who know, where's Robbinsdale?

Thank goodness for all the people who've checked in and they're ok.

Teacher said:

Robbinsdale is a suburb on the other side of the city, not near the site at all. Phone lines are fine today, you can give anyone a call you like.

CarrieMpls said:

Thanks, I'll give her a call right now.

I'm glad that the Org family members and their respective families are well. God bless those who were lost yesterday.
