1. August, 2007 - Bridge Collapse
- In local news, I-35W bridge collapses; at least 6 dead. First heard about it when a friend who was going to come over to pick up a few things called to say he wouldn’t be able to make it because there was a bridge out. There’s more coverage at buzz.mn and KMSP. I’m fine, and I don’t know anyone hurt in the collapse, as far as I know. The bridge is less than a mile from my place, though. I don’t have any photos, since they need to keep people away at the moment, and hopefully you don’t panic if you can’t reach me at my cellphone. T-Mobile seems to have lost coverage around here the same time the bridge collapsed.
