Default Interstate 35W bridge collapsed, Minneapolis

Thoughts to you Minnesotans and all affected.

The Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, downtown, has collapsed at rush hour.

Big bridge. About 2000-foot (600 m) span. 60-70 (18 m) feet high. In the water.

Edit: Numerous trauma patients showing up at area hospitals. Fires on bridge, maybe fuel spills. Yikes.

It's the wide bridge in the middle of this Google Map.

Homeland Security says it's unlikely terrorists, likely construction problem.
