[Edited on August 1, 2007 at 8:17 PM. Reason : dont think people got squished....i bet more people went into the water and got rescued]

8/1/2007 8:16:31 PM

Nah dnl, last friday changed me

8/1/2007 8:20:46 PM

I'll take your 8 and raise it 6

8/1/2007 8:22:24 PM

14 is def doable

if they were doing construction then no doubt some mexicanos are dead...plus the tanker truck that got "squished"

[Edited on August 1, 2007 at 8:24 PM. Reason : RIP to all those that died]

8/1/2007 8:23:40 PM

8/1/2007 8:27:06 PM

May 2006- MNDOT report on the bridge described that monitoring of fatigue cracking on the structure was necessary.

8/1/2007 10:09:57 PM

No one in my family was on the bridge

Quote :

" Another MnDOT plan put the timeline for replacing the bridge somewhere between 2015 and 2023, at an estimated cost of $122 million."

8/2/2007 12:25:56 AM

amazing there were so few casualties. seven, last i looked

8/2/2007 12:45:50 AM

with the lawsuits that will occur as a result, they will probably get about as much as it would of cost to replace the bridge.
