There was a bridge collapse in Minneapolis-St. Paul this evening. Here is the article for those of you who may have not seen the reports.
Apparently, the bridge has been under construction for quite some time. It makes me think twice about crossing the Burnside Bridge, which has also been under construction off and on for literally years. The differences here are that Burnside is supported by concrete, while this other bridge was held by steel.
On another note, why is terrorism now always the first suspect in any case of disaster? If terrorists were going to strike, would they really go for a single bridge in Minnesota? Doubtful. They would probably want to do something on a much larger scale--- something that would affect the workings of a city on a much grander scale, such as blowing every bridge in town. (Not to give any prospective terrorists any ideas; I'm sure they've thought of that.)
