MINNEAPOLIS - The entire span of an interstate bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending vehicles, tons of concrete and twisted metal crashing into the water.

An estimated 50 vehicles plunged into the water and onto the land below, the Star-Tribune reported.

A burning truck and a school bus clung to one slanted slab, while at least eight cars and a truck were submerged in the river.

  1. As I was reading about this horrible incident. I am reminded of another bridge collapse just before Christmas on the Ohio River. The bridge connected Gallipolis, Ohio and Point Pleasent W. Va. It was rush hour then too.

  2. I will pray for all of those involved in that 35W incident today. I drive that bridge everyday. I drove it yesterday at that exact time. I can’t imagine the truma and pain that those involved and their families are going through. Please know that you will be in our prayers and that God is with all of you at this time. This is a good reminder of why we should live life to it’s fullest and never have any regrets. Please feel the love of the prayers from the community that stands behind you. We will carry all of you in our thoughts and prYERA.
    MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND MAY YOU FEEL HIS PRESENCE WITH YOU MORE NOW THAN EVER.
