Large Bridge in MN over the Mississippi River down

Re: Large Bridge in MN over the Mississippi River down

With computer technology, along with security camera footage of the actual collapse, plus who knows what all else they have at their disposal, they will find out what really happened to this bridge. Until then everything is speculation.

We have bridges inspected both by the Feds and the State on a very regular basis. They do it for a reason, namely that bridges deteriorate over time, and it is important, for obvious reasons, to repair them before they fail.

Something went wrong in this case--it absolutely should not go wrong ever, without some outside unexpected factors (like a barge or ship ramming it, or earthquake or somesuch), and we better find out what that was!

And for those of you that insist on the incessant whining in advance about the idea of someone, anyone, criticizing Bush--get over it. Don't you ever get tired of pretending you're victims? After a while, it simply gets old.

Well, actually, it IS Dubya's fault. He's busy re-building Irag, and that stuff that "Ike" built, simply needs replacing...

and I like cheese too, so ..either way

We have just built a billion dollar light rail line that does nothing to ease conjestion that could've built four of these bridges. This light rail line requires multi-million dollar subsidies for operational costs. I guess we are just one step closer to being New york. They are looking to build another one to connect downtowns. Again this will not ease conjection, but will really make it easy for the poor people to travel.

I wish they would spend 25% of that money and add another bridge across the Minnesota river from the south where there is real conjection problems.

Taxes are not the problem.. nanny state politics are..

Yea, one of the local guys(Brian Sturgil) was on it and said it was wild at first.
There was a section in front of him just disappeared.
He stopped and then he fell, the section he was on did and the next thing he knew, water was coming in his doors.

He got out and helped some man and a couple small girls to safety and a boat picked them up and took them to shore.
Said it was a nightmare.
I can imagine.

5 men gave their lives in the building of this new bridge here in Toledo. No one outside the area gave much of a flip about it. Yes, PW, contrary to what ever stats you came up with, Ohio is rebuilding their bridges. This one just opened in June.
