19. So What?
Unless one was in Minneapolis and about to get in the car, no one really needed to see the footage.


As it is now, the others are on it?

11. get used to it. we have no money for intrastructure. I wonder where
all of it's going......

according to MSNBC, btw, it was under construction at the time, but unconfirmed; also said it was bumper to bumper traffic, right after rush hour

13. I wonder if this is just a case of crumbling infrastructure. This
country is in bad shape and getting worse. These things need to be repaired. Millions could be put to work in good jobs, etc. Our "leadership" doesn't want to think about it.

14. Of course it is.
Bridges collapses are the sort of thing that happen in third world countries that can't afford inspections.

This shit is negligence.

the jack-hammering and collapsed.:(
