35W Bridge Collapse…Wow!
August 1st, 2007 9:31 pm by DJ DanielsonJust stunning. This is absolutely horrible.
They are saying six dead and many more injured.
Sad. Also sad is the fact that partisan hacks are already trying to politicize this event.
I would call on people from both sides of the political spectrum: It’s been just over three hours. Politics does not need to be brought into this yet. Show some class.
[Update] A part of me thought my simple request would be futile, and boy, I couldn’t have been more correct. I am absolutely sickened by the rhetoric from both the right and left being exhibited in the media and on blogs and through comments replying to them.
There will be plenty of time for fact-finding, finger pointing, and being “know-it-alls.” Seven families (for now) are mourning. Others are looking at the process of recovery. For the sake of these people, back off the politics. [/Update]

I was at the Twins game, had I left Winona earlier I could have been right there. It was crazy at the dome for the game.
