Multiple cars plunged into the water, according to the AP and CNN.

Foxnews has live feed on it. Can you imagine how scary that would be?

No doubt CM. Terrifying.

Got it on.. Wow

Incredible. Impressive bridge collapse. How could that happen?

"Dozens" of cars!!!

I was caught off-guard, I heard about it a half-hour ago and then went to do something else and just now saw how bad it was. Looks horrible.

I do see several cars not submerged and reportedly people have gotten out, so maybe the toll will not be so high, but how would this happen? The only comparison was a collapse after the 1989 SF quake!

Bridge was under construction for awhile.

I've been on that bridge many times. Near the Metrodome. A lot of people were going to the Twins game at that time.

Could be a death(unconfirmed) 20-30 injuries, some critical, some not.

Unclear how many are still in the water.

Posted: **Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:31 pm**

There are 3 hospitals within a mile of the collapse so that should help.

Small scale version of the Sunshine Skyway disaster 30 years ago(?) .

Posted: **Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:44 pm**

CNN reports 3 dead as confirmed.

Posted: **Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:50 pm**

ABC broke in a little while ago with it. I would be scared to heck if I was on that bridge. Turning over to CNN now.

According to local coverage.

-Minneapolis is at disaster code orange.
-Every emergency worker in Minneapolis is on scene.
-The National Guard is on scene.

And my views

This could not have happened at a worse time. Thousands heading out of downtown going home and thousands heading to downtown going to the Twins game.

FIFTY cars in the water! There do seem to be a fairly high number of survivors so far, but some are reportedly critical.

live coverage -
