They announced the collapse during the Indian's game (the Twins were playing at home, and they wanted to announce that today's game had been postponed and that the series with the Indians which is scheduled to start tomorrow might be affected).

I originally heard there were six fatalities, and later heard that there were est. 50 cars on the bridge at the time. My heart goes out the the six +/- people who died, but was astounded at how many survived. Horrible tragedy, but it could have been much much worse.

I lived in Pittsburgh for a while, which I considered to be Bridgeland USA...being bordered on 2 of three sides by rivers. The hundreds of times I crossed those bridges, I never once thought of the possibility that they might collapse. Can't imagine that.
