Minneapolis Crisis Going On Right Now - Pray (IH35 Bridge Collapse)
 
FOX news just broke in with live video of a major interstate bridge collapse on IH35 over the Mississippi river in Minneapolis.

People and cars are in the water. People are in the water swimming needing to be rescued.

Big semi's are in the water also and some vehicles are on fire. This is a terrible tragedy.

The helicopter shot just zoomed out and it is a huge section of interstate both directions that has collapsed. Probably hundreds and hundreds of feet long. Some over ground and some over water.

Looks like this section was probably 30-50 feet above ground and water.

Saying now that many pedestrians and bike riders were also on the bridge.

Wife says something just blew up on the bridge.

No rescue vehicles seen yet.

If you have FOX News channel turn it out. The live footage is unbelievable. Cars tangled in the bridges broken structure and others in the water.

There is a school bus thank heaven on what appears a solid piece that collapsed between the two tangled ends. Hopefully any kids on it got off ok.

The semi truck is still burning.

It appears that a total of four or five spans of the bridge have either fallen or twisted and collapsed. We are talking hundreds of feet of bridge.

There is a report that the school bus had 20 or 30 kids on it and they are safe.

It looks like a bridge that was either bombed or in an earthquake.

Thank God, the kids on the school bus are ok with minor injuries. Deserving of much prayer.

How horrible... 50 cars according to XM Radio are 'into' the water.

Oh my gosh. It's awful. I read this and told Jon to turn it on. I can't imagine the horror of seeing that live.

HeavenlyOne 08-01-2007 06:06 PM

Wow, that is really something. They are saying it wasn't an earthquake now, but have no idea what caused it at this time.

Someone added to my post...this forum is getting spooky!

Are there any suggestions that this may have been a terrorist act?
