Holy fucking shit!

A bridge over the river collapsed.
Neither hellbob or I take that route regularly and we were both home when it happened, so you out-of-towners don't need to worry about us.

OMG! I-35? I-Fucking-35? I'm so glad you are safe! But what the fuck? I thought we were real good at engineering and stuff here in the developed world. I-Fucking-35????

Holy crap! How scary...I hope there aren't any fatalities.

Can you say...some heads are gonna roll? You know how it goes with the blame game when something like this happens.

I am at a conference in DC...and there are Minnesota people here. We were having drinks in the bar when this came on...and very soon we all just went to our rooms to see the news in private.

I can't believe it! How could the bridge fall? I used to drive it almost every day. I know people who drive it everyday on the commute.

Glad you both were no where near the bridge. Unbelievable.

I'm relieved to hear you guys are okay.

OMG. CNN just ran the press conference with the governor and the mayor. Six dead; hopefully no more.

Just.... fuck. I can't get through to mom. Not that she drives it or anything, but still.This is going to affect a *lot* of people and that sucks.

Just a freak thing. The governor made sure to mention that they had been doing the scheduled inspections, and nothing structural was found. So whatever happened, it was something internal.

I'm so glad you are ok! I've been watching this in the news tonight and it is so upsetting. I have drove over this bridge hundreds of times! I wonder what happened? Be Safe!
