Minneapolis Bridge Collapse

  Bridge Collapses in Minneapolis, MN., originally uploaded by Dani Bora. This has been in the news all afternoon and evening long. A bridge in the twin cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul collapsed during rush hour late today (August 1). The collapse occurred at around 6 pm local time there. Early reports indicate about 7 to 9 perished with numerous other people injured. There are many photos and videos already published on the net. The mainstream media (Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc) have been covering this tragedy since the beginning. Flickr is a good place to check out many photos that you may not see in the papers tomorrow. There are literally hundreds of photos taken by every day people like you and me. All are interestingly compelling. Go to Flickr.com and do a search under “Minneapolis bridge collapse” or similar terms.
