OK, I need all of my readers from Minneapolis to chime in here, as soon as possible. Let me know you’re all right.
UPDATE: This is the bridge that collapsed:
Here’s the bridge’s location in relation to downtown Minneapolis. The bridge is at the far right; that’s the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome near the middle, and downtown Minneapolis dominating the lefthand side of the image.
How horrible.
(I’ll keep this post at the top of the blog until tomorrow.)
All three safe at home. Krista drives that route three days a week though. When I heard I double and triple checked what day it was, and then I still had to call her and make sure.
Hey – I’m a regular reader from Minneapolis – this is a bridge we take each week to get our son to soccer practice, although we’d been avoiding it lately due to the construction.
Quite a strange evening though, blogged at http://mogendorff.com/andrew/?p=924
Cheers
It’s just a surreal event to say the least. As far as I know, no one I know was there when it happened.
Chris.
All I know are OK. Several friends cross it twice daily, but I haven’t heard first or second hand accounts from anyone…
