“Sister” City Sorrow
If you haven’t gotten enough of the news coverage on the bridge collapse in Minneapolis (I haven’t yet), check out the Metroblogging Minneapolis site. They’ve got video and updates over there.
I spent some of my college years in that friendly city, so this accident hits close to home for me. There’s a pedestrian bridge just down the river from the collapsed bridge that leads to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. (Go Gophers!) The river is pretty wide and powerful up there–think more power and width than Sacramento River at the Tower Bridge.
By the way, from a Sacramento perspective, we have a lot of U of M alums living here in town, as well as former Minnesotans. From our hearts to yours, we’re thinking of you, Minneapolis, and wishing you well.
