The Interstate 35W bridge, a major link between Minneapolis and St. Paul, was in the midst of being repaired when it broke into several huge sections during rush hour traffic.

Just watched this on the news at first I thought there had been an earthquake or something until I heard what had happened, that's a huge bridge to collapse.

Someone seriously failed his job, stuff like that cannot be allowed to happen.

Holy shit... that's terrible! It doesn't say that anyone has died though, which is amazing.

i heard at least 7 dead on the radio this morning, and that was 6 or 7 hours ago so chances are that number is higher by now.

Wow... just wow...

Unbelievable! I was wondering why 7 people had died while quickly hearing it on the radio at work today.

4 deaths confirmed, 62 injured and 20-30 still missing. Could of been worse, that school bus was so lucky it never went in.
