OMG. I can't believe what just happened. I'm in total shock. In case you've been living in a box, the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis which spans over the Mississippi River has just collapsed. It happened shortly after 6 pm so it was during rush hour. The bridge just buckled and dropped into the river! 3 people are dead so far... I just can't believe it. My mom called me at about 6:30 this evening and asked me if I had heard about the bridge collapse. I turned the news on and my jaw just dropped. Omg... omg... omg... that's all I could say! At first I was trying to figure out what bridge it was because I could not believe it was the bridge that they were saying it was.
I use this bridge a lot and actually thought about going up to my mom's today. I usually wait until after rush hour to head home so I could have been heading home when this happened! I hope that everyone out there is okay. I just can't imagine the aftermath now and everything that it entails. That's such a huge, important section of freeway and I can't imagine what's going to happen.

I panicked - this is the bridge that Dad and I used everyday to get home and the bridge that Kellie (my sister) and her husband use as well.
I'm glad you're safe and sound! Where does your mom live that you would have used that to see her? She must be MILES away!!
