Post by: Low Key on August 01, 2007, 11:57:06 PM

I'm sure if you were watching the news anywhere in America tonight, you probably saw it, but DAMN! I used to drive on that I-35W bridge all the time to go to work.

Was this the Mississippi or Minneapolis bridge?

It was the interstate highway bridge over the Mississippi that takes you from downtown Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul.

Yeah that whole situation is fucked up. Just imagine if all 8 lanes were open instead of just 4. There would have been at least another 100 cars on the bridge at the time. My dad was on that bridge the day before it happened.

Word around town is there are more deaths than the government is telling us. My coworker also works part time with the Minneapolis police and he told me there are at least 30 bodies under the bridge. We'll see as they start cleaning up the mess. That's fucked up if it's true.
