The 35W Collapse
I can’t begin to tell you the enormity of the 35W collapse up here in Minneapolis. That is the main artery through Minneapolis and that bridge is one that almost all Twin Cities’ residents have traveled across – probably within the last 6 months. I cannot count how many times I have been over it.
All of our people are accounted for this morning. As strange as it sounds, things could have been worse if the bridge wasn’t under construction. Traffic was crawling along through the construction zone during rush hour so there weren’t the normal number of cars racing over the bridge.
The latest information is that 9 people have died and 20 are still missing. Our prayers go out to the people affected by this tragedy.
If you would like to help, please consider a donation to the American Red Cross – Twin Cities.
