35-W

Carol and I drove across this bridge about seven hours before it stopped being a bridge. It is about a mile from our home, and in the Twin Cities proper I would guess that it is second only to I-94 in terms of traffic. The human costs will be terrible, but given the traffic that routinely over the bridge, I expected the numbers of casualties to be significantly higher than they are now believed to be.

My thoughts are with the families of those lost.
