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.
