Not yet, Oz....i have a couple of cousins who live there. i am concerned that the husband of one, who just had a baby, may use that bridge to go to and from work. The collapse happened during rush hour (about 6 pm CDT). i haven't heard any dire news, but i'm still worried.

Thank you for this thread his_j...watching CNN last night, i felt sick, and i started crying while watching the images of the bridge. How many times have we driven over bridges in our own lives? i tried imagining what it would have felt like to be one of the cars that had JUST made it past the point of collapse, or one of the cars who JUST missed the point of collapse by feet or yards. How would it have felt being a car "going down" with the bridge....

Frightening.... For those who lost their lives, i hope it was quick. (A morbid thought, i know, but the alternative is too horrifying to me.)
