I've always hated driving over

big bridges and overpasses. Now I know why!

Minn. people, you're in my thoughts tonight!

It's a mess here! Fortunately, many survivor stories including all 60 kids in the school bus. One guy fell 50 ft in his truck, the truck bent and snapped in half and he made it out with only one scrape on his nose.

Unfortunately, this is going to cause HUGE traffic problems for the next 3 years....

I was on the other interstate going out of downtown at the time the bridge fell. Definitely will make getting around harder for a while. Verdict is still out on how many people died or were injured - divers are in the Mississippi looking now. I saw an overturned UPS truck on the news, so if anybody's waiting for a package from Mpls today, it might be late!
