OT: Minneapolis I-35W Bridge Collapses

070801 Bridge Collapse3

Not directly airline related, except that we have a lot of readers in the MSP area -- the I-35W bridge going across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed sometime after 6 p.m. CT. The bridge apparently connects the University of Minnesota area and the Metrodome. (And yes, the Minnesota Twins are playing at home tonight.)

Unfortunately reports say the bridge collapsed during the height of rush hour, when traffic was apparently "bumper to bumper."
