Re: Yikes...MN bridge collapses

I live about 2 miles away from where this happened and travel over that bridge almost daily (including yesterday afternoon). I still can't figure out how something like this is possible, must of been years of wear and tear and something just had to give. While not as extreme as some of the pictures already out there, I did capture about 15 or so roughly 30 mins after it all went down. Maybe I'll post a few later tonight.

Re: Yikes...MN bridge collapses

I am good and so is all my family that lives in the cities. As for how this could happen, my guess is....most of the time it's easier to "fix/repair" something, like a bridge than it is to just replace with a new something, like a bridge.

Bridges are not made over night and they can cost a fortune, it's possible that while patching cracks, the engineers and inspectors were hoping that the bridge would last until it was scheduled to be replaced in 2020. With 20-30 people still missing, they might end up in the fatalities tally soon.
