Medtronic (where I work) headquaters is located in Minneapolis - I'm anxious to hear if everyone is okay there - several thousand people work there, so chances are good someone could have been on that bridge.

A semi was on fire and they are putting it out. It is torn in half.
Too add to the horror of this, is they are losing daylight and weather is on its way.
The official said it is the perfect storm for them.
It was rush hour.
The only good news it they believe many lanes were closed due to construction.
Also they is a major baseball game tonight and many of the commuters may have been on their way to the game as well.
Horrible situation!
FOX news said that the construction was completed and that all lanes were open. I also didn't see any evidence that any construction was under way.
I wish I knew what was under that slab in the water....I hope it's just water and not other cars and debris.
If there is any good news, it's that this part of the Mississippi is narrow, thus the bridge isn't that long. Would have been worse if it happened in St. Louis.

I heard on the news an eye witness that said the bridge was shaking and that at the time he felt it there were jackhammers at work....who knows

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

That's the thing with breaking news. All kinds of things are said and seen and reported, and until the confusion is brought down, nobody knows anything for sure......even the eyewitnesses.
I just hope that there are few casualties.

I'm talking to a friend in that area now on IM. He said his niece is missing. No one can reach her by cellphone. She goes to school at U of M, and crosses that bridge about 6pm every day... He said that this happened around 6:15..

I'm praying for her safety, Tina. Let us know what they find out.

Oh how terrible. Let's pray she is okay and that it's just that her cell phone is gone.
