Having grown up near the Twin Cities and having worked there on multiple occasions, it is kind of stunning to know that a bridge you've driven over before has collapsed. If the current number of fatalities, six, holds, you can consider it a bit of a miracle. A collapse of that bridge at that time of day could have been a lot worse. My thoughts and prayers are with those on the bridge during the collapse and their friends and families.
Update
The more I see of the collapse, the more I think that anything less than 50 fatalities is a miracle. Early indications that this was a structural failure means that there is going to be hell to pay once the rescure/recovery operation is over. Minnesotans are going to be reminded of this every day for several years.
Update 2
These are the best photos you are going to see.
