I feel so sad for all those people! I hate seeing things like this happen! I lit a candle and prayed for all the people involved in this tragedy!

Death toll is now at 7! Oh, I feel so sorry for those people on the bridge and their families! It must be horrifying.

I quit watching a while ago. I had to or I'll never get to sleep tonight.

It's just so weird seeing something like that. So unreal... I don't think I could take living in earthquake country.

Glad your family is OK though I know there at least seven families who can't say the same.

I, too, had to finally turn coverage off last night as I just couldn't take it anymore.

My first thoughts when I heard this were of YTers in this area and of our co.'s colleagues in Mpls. I haven't heard yet if all of our colleagues were spared. And, as I cross the Mississippi everyday to get to and from work (from Illinois to St. Louis), I couldn't help but shudder a bit on this morning's commute ...

Thoughts and prayers to all those who were affected by this horrible tragedy -- and to those who at least feared they might be.

What a terrible tradgedy. I called my sister and her family right away all was well but she could not get ahold of my nephew as of 11 last night tried calling her this am and she is not home.I am sure all is okay or she woudl of called.Prayers for all who are still missing and injured.
We use that highway when we go to the cities,was just on it 2 days ago.
Cannot imagine that happening during rush hour.

I lived in Mpls. for 5 years, my hubby grew up there. I was JUST on this bridge LAST WEEK when we were up in MN for vacation w/ his family. I remember how slow the traffic was bc of the construction in this particular area (summer is construction season in MN).

My father-in-law travels this bridge every day to and from work. Thankfully, he's okay.

This could have been so much worse, the only blessing is that it was down to 2 lanes.

I saw this on the news last night. How horrible for those people and their
families.
What a nightmare. I travel on a major bridge daily and think about the
same thing every time I cross it.
I heard a young man rescued a handicapped man from his car. The
poor man couldn't even get out to save himself. Who would ever
expect such a thing to happen. I can't wait to see what the engineer's
have to say after the inspection of the bridge.

Prayers for the victims and their families .

newmommy · 08-02-2007, 06:31 AM

PuppyLovinNurse · 08-02-2007, 06:31 AM

Prayers going out to everyone involved.
