Minneapolis bridge collapse.
Mn/DOT Traveler Information

This is only a picture of the scene now but it must have caught the actual collapse which happened in daylight?

These appear to be the cameras to view from:-
634 OTHER I-35W SB at Mississippi River yes 2007/08/01 18:02
628 OTHER I-35W NB at Mississippi River yes 2007/08/01 18:02


It sounds, to me, that the relative slowness of the collapse is what enabled so many to survive.

If anybody sees 4 horsmen wearing T shirts proclaiming "apocolypse rools" run, hide and kiss your love grips goodbye!

Lots more unbelievable pictures here BBC NEWS | In Pictures | In pictures: US bridge collapse
As well as some unlucky people there were some very lucky ones too, just look at how close some are stoped to the edge

Wow, picture 2! That car is meters away from disaster.
Bet the driver thanked his lucky stars.
