Wrong forum, (unless it was a warbird bridge)

I work down there and I just got home.....what a freakin mess that is. I am now just able to see the news and see what happened. I hope everyone is ok, I heard 1 maybe 3 dead.

No but we (WIX Members )do have friends that live in Minneapolis ( like me ) I am sure like I am , concerned about people we know are ok.

My point exactly just returned from a good friends furneral hope theres not more

I live in northern Iowa, but had just crossed that bridge a week ago, and it all gives a guy a moment to think of the possibilites.
They are now saying 7 dead, with possible others drown, yet to be recovered.
I too, also have friends that live in the Twin Cities, and this is a HUGE event that has effected several people, so a little understanding would go a long way, at times like this.

Thanks,

Leon

Drive across it often. My daughter has been taking a class down at the U and uses it. My mom's husband was on it earlier this afternoon. 7 dead now and many more injured.

Lots of stories of people helping out too which was nice to see.

15 years in the Twin Cities; I drove across that span many times. Finally got through to a family member there; they're ok.

My prayers for the injured and killed, and their families. It was rush hour. Thank God the numbers are so few.

I work a couple miles north of the bridge and sometimes take that route into Minneapolis after work. I was glad I worked late tonight.

There are postings, and then, there are postings.

I know at least three people in the area (Helldivers being one, Dick Phillips the other, and Dr. Gary Kuhn being the third) who are directly related to aviation.

So, I believe the warning / posting was adequate for this forum, and I sincerely wish for everyone's well being, although with 60 cars on the river, I am not really sure that this will be possible.

Saludos,


Tulio

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Dont forget about me

It is sad, bodies are still trapped, I hope some alive, but it is looking pretty sad down here.

Operative word, Paul, is "know."

I have met these gentlemen in person, so I know them. I know quite a few more people in the Twin Cities, but they have no connection to aviation.

Just a figure of speach and to lighten up the mood.

Very sad indeed chaps. Good fortune however that more lives were not lost. That school bus could have made it just a lot worse.

I wonder if bridges get the same attention as aircraft re structures etc. They should but I know they don't. What are the public service standards?
