I'm surprise no topic was created in our local forum. Anyways, I work right in downtown MPLS and got caught in some escalated work so I did not leave work until 6:00PM. I had to pick up my family afterwards so I headed the other direction away from the bridge to pick them up. If it weren't for them, I would have taken the bridge as it would taken me to my Uncle's house because he had called me earlier that afternoon to go over to his house for some family event @ 7PM. The bridge went down at exactly 6:10PM. After I picked up my family, I notice that they had closed down the highway towards the bridge. I didn't notice the dilema until I reached my uncle's house which was after 7PM due to traffic detours.

Over the weekend, I drove towards to bridge to get a glimpse of the damage but cops were everywhere closing every fucken corner. I only saw a section of the broken bridge but that was before the river section. No pictures!

I was in Okiboji,IA at 6pm but I did cross the bridge 3 times that morning last time being around noon. News hit on cnn or whatever at the resort and then the fun process of calling family/friends began... what a day! 2 months already

I was in Japan. I had just gotten out of a meeting, hit refresh on CNN, and picked up the phone to call my brother. No answer so I called my parents. Everyone was fine. Come to find out 2 weeks later that my bro was driving that bridge everyday after I thought no one in our family regularly used it.
