Minneapolis Bridge Collapse

7 Killed in Minneapolis Bridge Collapse

MINNEAPOLIS - An interstate bridge jammed with rush-hour traffic suddenly broke into huge sections and collapsed into the Mississippi River Wednesday, pitching dozens of cars 60 feet into the water and killing at least seven people.

The eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis artery, was in the midst of being repaired and two lanes in each direction were closed when the bridge buckled.

"There were two lanes of traffic, bumper to bumper, at the point of the collapse. Those cars did go into the river," said Minneapolis Police Lt. Amelia Huffman. "At this point there is nothing to suggest that this was anything other than a structural collapse."

Jamie Winegar of Houston was sitting in traffic shortly after 6 p.m. when all of a sudden she started hearing "boom, boom, boom and we were just dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping."

The car she was riding in landed on top of a smaller car but did not fall into the water. She said her nephew yelled, "'It's an earthquake!' and then we realized the bridge was collapsing."

Minneapolis Fire Chief Jim Clack said 60 people were taken to area hospitals for treatment and that the death toll could rise.

Rescuers called off the search as nightfall made it too dangerous to search the waters, which were filled with chucks of the mangled bridge and at least 50 vehicles in the water.

"We think there are several more vehicles in the river we can't see yet," Clack said, adding that the likelihood of finding survivors was slim.

Authorities referred family members searching for missing loved ones to a nearby hotel, where the Red Cross had set up operations.

Dr. Joseph Clinton, emergency medical chief at Hennepin County Medical Center, said his hospital treated 28 injured people — including six who were in critical condition.

Clinton said at least one of the victims had drowned.

The Homeland Security Department also said the collapse did not appear to be terrorism-related. The National Transportation Safety Board planned to send a team of investigators to Minneapolis, NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz said.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty said the bridge was inspected by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in 2005 and 2006 and that no structural problems were noted. "There were some minor things that needed attention," he said.

Police Chief Tim Dolan said officers were checking other bridges as a precaution.

The steel-arched bridge, which was built in 1967, rose about 64 feet above the river and stretched about 1,900 feet across the river. The bridge was built with a single 458-foot-long steel arch to avoid putting any piers in the water that might interfere with river navigation.

A burning truck and a school bus clung to one slanted slab. The bus had just crossed the bridge before it crumpled into pieces.

Christine Swift's 10-year-old daughter, Kaleigh, was on the bus returning from a field trip and called her mother. "She was screaming, 'The bridge collapsed!'" Swift said.

She said a police officer told her all the kids got off the bus safely.

It appeared that the center section of the bridge dropped straight down and pancaked in the middle of the river, leaving several vehicles stranded on a broken island of wreckage. As divers plumbed the waters, other rescuers searched frantically for victims amid broken, zigzagged sections of blacktop. Some of the injured were carried up the riverbanks.

Dozens of vehicles were scattered and stacked on top of each other amid the rubble. Some people were stranded on parts of the bridge that weren't completely in the water.

Many motorists may have been headed to the Minnesota Twins game not far from the bridge. Team officials decided to play the game after conferring with department of public safety officials. It was decided that sending 20,000 to 25,000 people back into traffic could hinder rescue efforts, said team president Dave St. Peter.

Catherine Yankelevich survived a 1994 earthquake in Northridge, Calif., and was on the I-35W bridge when it began to shake. "Cars started flying and I was falling and saw the water," she said. After her car plunged into the river, she climbed out the driver's side window and swam to shore uninjured.

Road crews had been working on the 40-year-old bridge's deck, joints, guardrails and lights this week. "None of it would be related to the structure," said Bob McFarlin, assistant to Minnesota Transportation Commissioner Carol Molnau.

The bridge was scheduled for inspection this fall, he said.

Tom Sloan, head of the bridge division for Progressive Contractors Inc. said his company had 18 workers on the bridge at the time of the collapse and one was unaccounted for on Wednesday night. Three were hospitalized, while several others were treated for minor injuries, he said.

"Obviously, this is a catastrophe of historic proportions for Minnesota," said Pawlenty said. "And right now we are focused on making sure that we are doing everything to respond to the needs of those individuals that may have been harmed in this incident."

A Cat named Phoebe

Once upon a time there was a cat named Phoebe. One day when she was a small kitten, she was rescued out of a box in front of Ralphs. This was the day that Phoebe met Katelin and her mom. While the mom was in the store, Katelin and Phoebe sat in the car getting to know each other. That night Phoebe was introduced to her new home on Woodside lane. Through the next couple of days, Phoebe got to explore her new territory and sleep between,under,and on sheets of her family's bed sheets. She mainly slept with a family members named Mercedes and Katelin.
Then one day Phoebe was introduced to another kitten named Crazy legs. From that day on Phoebe and crazy legs were inseparable. They both traveled from Phoebe's home and Crazy legs's home. Phoebe and crazy legs were best friends and the best play mates. Then after two years, Phoebe and crazy legs went to go play outside one morning, and when night came. Phoebe was the only cat that returned. That was the last time Phoebe's family members saw crazy legs.
From that day on Phoebe choose katelin as her favorite and has not left her side since. Phoebe would sleep every night with Katelin, and only come when she called for her. Phoebe respected the other members of the family, but liked katelin the best. Seven years have pasted, and Phoebe ( the jungle cat of the roof ) is health and alive. She is still attached to Katelin at the hip when Katelin is home. When Katelin goes on trips, or does not home home one night, Phoebe drives the parents of the house hold up the wall. Forever Katelin will be Phoebe's favorite, and Phoebe will always be Katelin's cat.

The end

A Midnight showing

Last night, a.k.a this morning my friend jenny and I got to see Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. We got our tickets for the Imax showing about a month or so ago. Now let me fill you in about this premiere.

Now we are talking about die hard fans that come to this showing. Which is actually kinda cool. People dressed up in their costumes of their character, or their favorite house. I got dressed up in my Dumberdore Army t- shirt, and my Hufflepuff scarf. I know, I know, lammmmeeee! I do not care though! I got in line about 6/7 0' clock. When I was walking to the end of the end,( which was wrapped around the 24 hour fitness) It looked like people had gotten there that morning to stand in line. This was just as bad as the star wars premiere I went to. There were chairs, blankets, blow up mattresses, people were ready!

I got in line first, then Jenny joined me with presents. Hooray! Love presents! Jenny showed up in a Gryffindor tank top. The funniest thing about standing in line, was that the people in front of me were all cast members from Disneyland. Around 9:30, one of the managers came by, and started telling everyone in line that they are going to let us in about in a half in hour. Which means that if you have any furniture with you, you have to go put it in your car. Gosh! Quickest half ever! Once all the furniture was gone, and the line started moving, it got everyone riped and roaring. When jenny and my self got in the actual theater, it was complete madness. Jenny has a knee injury, so we were able to snag sweet spots on the top dead center. They let that Imax line two hours in before the movie started. Complete maddess! People were saving rows of seats for people that weren't even there. That didn't go over too well. Let's just say, the managers had a lot of problems because of it. At one point while waiting, it felt like we were at our graduation again. People brought blow up beach balls and started tossing them in the crowd. There was hugh excitement when the second beach ball was brought into play.

Once it became five minutes until midnight, the whole theater wild and excited. Someone would announce every minute it became close to Harry Potter, and once it became midnight, everyone went wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the theater announced that there would only be a time to put on the glasses, but no one heard it because we were all going wild with excitement. For this Harry potter movie, I was not at all disappointed, they did a amazing movie, and the 3D part made the most important part of the movie even more awesome.

Seeing a Midnight showing makes it more special because no one in the theater has see the movie before. So the whole crowd claps and cheers and has a great time during the movie, because they would not be there if they did not want to really see this movie. The whole experience of seeing the Harry Potter movie was amazing, which made it even more special because of the crowd I saw it with.
