I was shocked at that too...I think it's how the bridge fell. It didn't break up into peices, most of it fell at once.
I am still shocked to hear about this, and my biggest question is HOW? There are groups that cities hire to maintain bridges and constantly look at them for stress issues. Being a main bridge in Minnesota, what the hell happened? Who skrewed up on their job?
