Bridge collapses in Minneapolis
2007-08-01
MINNEAPOLIS — A freeway bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed Wednesday, sending many cars into the water, injuring 20 to 30 people, authorities tell FOX News.

Tons of concrete have collapsed and people are injured. Survivors are being carried up the riverbank.

This bridge connects downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota.

The entire span of the 35W bridge collapsed about 6:05 p.m. where the freeway crosses the river near University Avenue.

Live video on MSNBC as I type this. MSNBC saying there is no suspicion of terrorism; looks to just be an engineering failure.
