Just saw it on our local. 4 lane freeway bridge dumped into the Mississippi? 20 cars at least in the river.

Prayers sent that way!

I spent 3 hours there helping pull cars out. It was a mess to say the least. The towing company I work for was asked to help.

Here's the video of the bridge falling......

what really makes me madder than a hornet is all these politicians saying "we need to stop spending money on a war and spend it here at home so this doesnt happen" or "if we passed the gas tax we "could" have used to money to save these lives" WTF!!! the Gov already said it would have been replaced in 2020 due to previsous inspections nobody could have predicted this. im so sick of these crooked politicians using the loss of innocent life for personal and party gain and that goes for the left and the right!
